Pension to cease on conviction

59. If any teacher to whom a pension has been granted under this Part of this Law is sentenced to imprisonment by any competent Court for any crime or offence, then, in every such case, it shall be lawful for the Governor in Council to direct that such pension shall forthwith cease:

Provided that the pension shall be restored with retrospective effect in the case of a person who after conviction at any time receives a free pardon:

Provided also that where a pension ceases for the reason aforesaid it shall be lawful for the Governor in Council to cause all or any part of the moneys to which the pensioner would have been entitled to be applied to the benefit of any wife, child or children of the pensioner, or, after the expiration of his sentence, also to the benefit of the pensioner himself in the same manner and subject to the same qualifications and restrictions as in the case of bankruptcy in section 60 of this Law provided.
