(2) President's right to withhold or withdraw pension in full is absolute

(2) President's right to withhold or withdraw pension in full is absolute - There is nothing in the language of Article 351-A (Rule 9) to restrict the right of the President to withholding only a part of the pension in the case dealt with by this provision. On the other hand, the words "withholding or withdrawing a pension" clearly convey that the President is competent to withhold or withdraw the full pension. While to "restrict the amount of withheld pension to one-third of the pension originally sanctioned" in the order may be applied under the new Article in cases where the order is for recovery of losses from pension, it has no bearing on the question of Government's right to withhold or withdraw the pension and Government may order the full pension to be withheld or withdrawn.
