jirst"grants (2) Claims to first grants of Great War casualty awards preferred, whether for the
preferred after first time or not, after the date of this Agreement by personnel of the classes enumerated
thisXn-eement. i n subsection (Ij of this section, or by their dependants or heirs, shall be dealt with as
follows:—
(a) In the case of the retired officers and retired warrant officers of the Indio
Army referred to in subsection (1) (a) of this section, if the claims are in
?*espect of disabilities or death due to the re-employed service, they shall
be regarded as claims by or in respect of officers and warrant officers of the
British Army, and shall be dealt with by the Imperial Government, and
that Government shall bear the entire charge for any grants of non-effective
pay it may make in such cases; but the service pensions shall continue to
be administered by the Government of India.
(b) In the case of personnel referred to in subsection (1) (6) of this section:—
(i) If the officer or warrant officer whose service gives rise to the claim
passed from one Army to the other without a break in the continuity of
military service, the Government in whose Army his service ended shall
deal with the claim and bear the entire liability for any Great War casualty
award granted.
(ii) if the officer or warrant officer passed from one Army to the other
with a break in the continuity of military service ;—
U) If the disability or death giving rise to the claim is solely due 1o
service in the forces of one Government, that Government shall deal
with the claim and bear the entire cost of any award made.
(/3) If the disability is primarily due to service in the forces of one
Government and has been aggravated by service in the forces
of the other Government, the latter Government shall deal with the
claim and administer the case for so long as aggravation by the later
service persists and shall bear the entire charge for the pension for
this period. On the termination of the effects of such aggravation,
administration of the case shall be taken over by the former
Government, who shall be liable for the whole cost of the pension as
from the date from which the transfer has effect.
(y) If there are two distinct disabilities, one of which is solely due to
service in the Indian Army and the other solely due to service
in the British Army, each Government shall administer the award
to the officer or warrant officer in respect of the disability or
disabilities due to service in its own Forces. In such a case
the Government in whose Army the first disability was received shall
make an assessment applicable to the whole of the officer’s or warrant
officer’s disablement, but shall limit its award to the disability
due to service in its own Forces, leaving the other Government
to award on the basis of the difference between this assessment
and the total assessment. Each Government shall bear the entire
cost of its own award.
(In all cases covered by subsections (2) (a) and (2) (b) (ii) of this
section, the Government proposing to make an award shall, with a
view to the due observance of these rules, inform the other Government
of its intention.)
(c) In the case of the personnel referred to in subsection (1) (c) of this section,
the Imperial Government shall deal with the claim if in respect of British
Army personnel serving with the South Persia Rifles; otherwise the
Government of India shall deal with it. In each case the cost shall be
equally divided between the two Governments.
(d) In the case of the individuals referred to in subsections (1) (d) and (e) of this
section, the Government of India shall deal with the claim and shall be
wholly liable for any resulting charge.
