(1) Jika mana-mana orang yang telah diberi pencen atau award lain di bawah Bahagian ini dikenakan hukuman mati atau hukuman perhambaan atau pemenjaraan selama apa-apa tempoh oleh manamana mahkamah bagi apa-apa kesalahan, Menteri boleh mengarahkan
supaya pencen atau award lain itu dihentikan dengan serta-merta dan dengan itu pencen atau award lain itu adalah terhenti dengan sewajarnya:
Dengan syarat bahawa pencen atau award lain itu hendaklah diberikan semula dengan kuat kuasa ke belakang dalam hal seseorang yang pada mana-mana masa selepas disabitkan mendapat pengampunan.
(2) Jika sesuatu pencen atau award terhenti di bawah subseksyen
(1) Menteri hendaklah menyebabkan supaya semua atau manamana bahagian daripada wang yang pesara itu sepatutnya berhak mendapat sebagai pencen atau award lain dibayar kepada atau digunakan bagi faedah mana-mana isteri, anak atau anak-anak pesara itu, atau selepas tamat tempoh hukumannya, juga bagi faedah pesara itu sendiri dengan cara yang sama dan tertakluk kepada kelayakan dan sekatan yang sama seperti dalam hal kebankrapan dan ketidakmampuan bayar.
