Section 13

Where an employee’s services are terminated on the ground that, having regard to the conditions of the service, the usefulness of the employee thereto and all the other circumstances of the case, such termination is desirable in the public interest, and a pension, gratuity or other award cannot otherwise be granted to him under this Act, the Minister may, if he thinks fit, grant such pension, gratuity or other award as he thinks just and proper, but in no case exceeding the amount for which the employee would be eligible if he had retired from the service in the circumstances described in paragraph 12(c).
