Hi,
I have a friend who only finished his 12th. He used to work as office boy but got involved in a cheating case. Although he is not guilty, he got framed by some people & because of poverty, he could not fight & win the legal case. He got convicted for 2 years normal imprisonment. He completed his sentence & is now free. He is trying to find a job. But everyone who knows him are reluctant to give him a job.
Is there any legal policy which prevents convicts from getting job? Would appreciate any help regarding this issue.

there is no legal bar as such.

Yes, it is the unfortunate stigma which comes in the way and which is also a stumbling block to cleanse the society to a large extent.
