It will certainly affect as it is wrong statement on his part but as the conviction u/s 279, there is no element of 'moral turpitude' in it therefore it will not affect his service, better if he voluntary goes forward and give explanation that he has made wrong statement due to mistake of facts.

Suppression of material fact is definitely a criminal offence. It shall certainly affect whereas the mentioning of true fact would not have affected him as the previous case do not come within moral turpitude.
