The question whether a show-cause notice to the pensioner is necessary before imposing a cut in his pension where the pensioner is convicted in judicial proceedings for an offence committed by him while in service, has been examined in consultation with Department of Legal Affairs and it has been decided that in order to meet the principal of natural justice, it is a pre-requisite to issue a show-cause notice on the basis of conviction by the court to the pensioner before imposing any cut in his pension for clear manifestation of principle of natural justice.
