A statutory cap limiting pension to 87% violates the constitutional requirement to account for full length of service.
Constitutional law – pensions – Whether statutory ceiling (s.13(1) Pensions Act) limiting pension to 87%/435 months conflicts with Article 254(1) requirement that pension be commensurate with rank, salary and length of service; res judicata – applicability where earlier court lacked jurisdiction to determine constitutional question; remedies – recomputation, arrears with interest, monthly payments and costs.

A three-judge panel may hear interlocutory constitutional applications; the Acting Chief Justice’s administrative role does not mandate recusal.
Constitutional Court – composition under Article 137 – five-justice bench required for questions of constitutional interpretation only; interlocutory applications may be heard by a single justice or a three-justice bench (Section 12 Judicature Act; Rule 23 Constitutional Court Rules). Recusal – administrative role of Acting Chief Justice/Acting Deputy Chief Justice not automatic ground for disqualification; speculative bias insufficient.
