Section 4 Supplementary pensions to European barrister judges of High Court at Rangoon.
United Kingdom
The Secretary of State may grant a pension payable out of moneys provided by Parliament to any European who—
was not a member of the Indian Civil Service or the Burma Civil Service (Class 1); and
was, immediately before the fourth day of January, nineteen hundred and forty-eight, a judge of the High Court at Rangoon; and
retires, either before or after the passing of this Act.
The annual amount of a pension under this section shall be such amount as will, when added to the annual amount of the pension granted or to be granted by the Government of Burma to the person in question, amount to the sum specified in subsection (3) of this section or to the annual amount of the maximum pension which might have been granted to him under the M1Government of Burma (High Court Judges) Order 1937, if the M2Burma Independence Act 1947, had not been passed and he had continued to serve in the office which he held immediately before the said fourth day of January until he attained the age of sixty years, whichever is the less.
The said sum is the sum which bears to one thousand two hundred pounds the same proportion as the number of completed months in the service of the person in question, increased by two years, bears to the number of completed months in eleven and a half years.
