24. Gratuity or yearly pension to members disabled in the performance of duty

When any member of the force has served for a less period than ten years, if
without his own default and in the discharge of his duty he receives such
bodily injury as to incapacitate him for active service, he may retire from
the force, and the ESS Board may grant to such member a gratuity not exceeding
one month's pay for each year's service or a yearly pension not exceeding half
the pay received by him during the year preceding his retirement, or in the
event of his death before so retiring such gratuity shall be granted to
his widow and children.
