Greetings seniors,
I am a final year law student from Delhi.
A friend of mine was booked for Drink and Drive under Section 185, MVA, 1988. He pleased guilty and paid a fine of Rs. 2000/- and his driving license was suspended for 6 months (NO SI) by order of the District Court.
He plans to go abroard for durther studies. In his student visa application, there is a question "Have you ever committed, been arrested, or been charrged with or convicted of any criminal offence in any country" What should his reply be? :
- Should he mentioned he was charged under such circumstances?
- Is this disclosure necessary? Like, if say he does not, will the visa agency any how get to know about this?
- If he mentions this, what are the implications of such disclosure?
Please advice.
Kind Regards
Taya Sachdev
