Prime facie your case allow eligibility for government job however the exact judgment of trial court as well Session Court that acquitted you of all charges has to be checked to confirm on what your acquittal was based, was it beyond all reasonable grounds or you were given benefit of doubt while acquitting you by these courts on the various charged provisions.
This will weigh in the mind of the officials who interview you for new government job and how the charged offences have any effect on the job you have to handle in the government department.

You a re quite eligible for the Government job, if acquitted of the charge, but without benefit of doubt.

Yes, as has been opined by learned experts, you may be eligible for Government Job if your acquittal was honorable. However, looking to the serious charges for which you were tried in the Court, despite your acquittal, it is felt advisable for you not to venture for a Government service again!
