(iv) for any other reason in the interest of the service;

(b) a man of the force who during his service is convicted by a civil court of an offence committed before his enlistment, or is convicted of an offence against article 18 or 66 of the Act, may have his service terminated by the Commander;

(c) a man of the force whose retention in the service is considered undesirable on account of -

(i) inefficiency; or

(ii) persistent petty breaches of discipline insufficient to warrant discharge for misconduct under paragraph (d); or

(iii) persistent indebtedness which has led to inefficiency or to indiscipline or to any action by the man that has repeatedly brought the service into disrepute, and in respect of whom the provisions of sub-regulation (2) have been observed, may have his service terminated by the Commander;

(d) a man of the force who during his service has been sentenced -

(i) by a civil court or a court-martial to imprisonment;

For the purpose of this paragraph a person who has been placed on probation or has been discharged absolutely or conditionally by a civil court shall not be deemed to have been convicted;
