Page 82 - Political Law Jurispridence Best Bar Ever!

An impeached public officer

whose civil, criminal, or

administrative liability was not

judicially established is entitled

to the retirement benefits

provided under

R.A. Nos. 9946 and 8291. The

former Chief Justice can never

be deemed to have retired at

the age of 70, nor can he be

considered as resigned by

reason of any permanent

disability, as his separation from

service was not in any way

effected through resignation.
