This query is : Resolved
Sir I am preparing for armed forces... I met with an accident and an FIR is lodged against my name for negligence driving .. The trial is still going on and it will take around an year for the matter to be resolved... If I clear the Interview round will this accidental FIR affect my police verification clearance ?

The pending criminal case against you will make you ineligible for an appointment/employment for the government job especially with the Armed forces.

You will have to disclose the facts of case in police verification.
However, even if you are convicted in the motor accident case u/s 279/ 337 or 338 IPC it will not (NOT) affect the verification / appointment since it does not involve any moral turpitude or integrity.
So I respectfully disagree with experts.

Offences are Section 279, 337 and 338 sir.

The offences alleged does not involve moral turpitude and hence, even if convicted, is no bar for public employment. Generally, the Courts allow the accused to plead guilty on payment of fine; some courts allow the advocates to be authorized to plead guilty without insisting on the presence of the accused. Please ascertain the system/practice prevalent in the local Court where the case will come up for trial.
What is the present stage of the case? Have you received the summons. You may plead guilty at the earliest opportunity so that the matter could be resolved.

I have a hearing on 22nd of this month sir. Should I just plead guilty and pay the fine ?

First of all, ascertain from the reliable sources (advocates or court officials) whether pleading guilty in such cases is permitted on payment of fine.

It is sir... I have already confirmed from my lawyer.. I am just not sure of pleading guilty !
T. Kalaiselvan, Advocate

If you were charged with the offences relating to sections 279 and 227 IPC, then, if pleaded guilty i.e., admitting it before court with a request to impose fine alone, the court at its discretion may impose fine alone on you.
In that case, this may not impact the police verification report for government job since it do not involve moral turpitude
You may discuss with your lawyer and ask him to make a request to the court through the Assistant public prosecutor with a reference to aspiration for government job in future.

The offence informed to be. involved is 337, not 227. Pleading guilty such offences is a routine matter in every Magistrate Court.

Proceed as advised by your lawyer as s/he is better informed by facts of the case.
