4. What is the procedure to be followed in the case of a pensioner
convicted of a serious crime?
As per rule 8(2), action regarding withholding or withdrawing pension is to be taken
in the light of the judgment of the court relating to the conviction.
Although it is not explicitly stated in the rules, such an action should be preceded by
issue of a show cause notice and examination of the reply by the pensioner. This
course of action will be on the same analogy with Rule 19(i) of CCA Rules under
similar circumstances
