The Supreme Court resolved a legal question regarding the suspension of a farmer's supplementary pension when the individual owns land but does not actively farm it. The applicant argued that the law only lists specific exceptions to suspension, implying other non-farming scenarios should also qualify. The court held that the statutory list of exceptions serves merely as evidentiary guidance and does not exhaustively define non-farming conditions. Consequently, owners of land not listed in the exceptions may prove they are not farmers by demonstrating a lack of agricultural activity.
