I have to revise my opinions expressed so far:
IPC-323 is punishment for voluntarily causing hurt.
IPC-376 is punishment for rape.
IPC-417 is punishment for cheating.
IPC-323 may be a minor offence.
But IPC-376 - rape is a very serious offence. If the authority comes to know of the case they can ask the candidate to come clean out of the case before admitting him. Actually IPC-375 is rape and 376 is punishment for rape. As the question is only about 376 does it mean that 375 is proven?
There are many celebrities charged with rape or even lesser offences against women. Some are in jail for months without bail. In the case of others they remain in shadow for several years. If he were in high position and resigns, the victim asks whether he resigned or was he dismissed.
IPC-417 is punishment for cheating. Does it mean that cheating has been proven? Cheating is also a serious offence.
Sonali Sinha appears to be the name of a woman. Is she asking for herself or on behalf of a male friend?
Even if the candidate does not mention the cases in his/her application, the victim may write to the authorities.
The adage ‘Innocent until guilt is proven’ may not apply here. Or IPC-375 has already been proven and the accused is only waiting for the pronouncement of punishment?
