pension commission, for a physical examination by a regularly licensed and practicing
surgeon or physician designated by the commission. This surgeon or physician shall report back to the commission the physical condition
of such employee and whether he continues to be permanently disabled or suffering

payment of the pension paid to such employee and order his return to duty, but only
after an opportunity is given such employee to be represented by counsel at a hearing
on the action of the commission, which hearing shall be conducted in the same manner
as where application is made by a municipal employee for retirement because of permanent
injury or disease, as provided by said section 43:13-7 .
