AI generatedThe Supreme Court resolved a legal question regarding the calculation base for a police officer's disability pension. The applicant argued that the pension should be calculated on the full salary corresponding to his rank, rather than the 50% amount actually paid due to a service suspension. The court held that a suspension in duties does not constitute a change in rank or the entitled salary. Consequently, the pension base must be the full salary of the last held position, not the reduced amount paid during the suspension.
