Every judge whose mental or physical health condition, whether temporary or permanent, adversely affects the performance of his/her judiciary duties shall be subject to the procedure of removal from service.
When the Supreme Court determines that a judge is undergoing the physical or mental condition referred [to] in this section, it may, after the corresponding legal procedures, order a temporary or permanent removal from office.
The permanent removal of a Judge shall be deemed as a voluntary resignation for all legal purposes, and shall not affect his/her rights under §§ 233 et seq. of this title, known as the “Judiciary Retirement Act”.
