Am i facing criminal charges?

you might be innocent, but your arrest need to be disclosed. they wil find anyway soon than later.

yes, so I already disclosed the arrest and this is the request that I got as a follow up.

From high commission "regarding any criminal charges that you are facing, including all police and court records that pertain to the charges".

So does the arrest count as criminal charges?

if not, can I reply that I was never charged with any crime?

You can benefit from the advices in the thread.

Take help of local lawyer specializing in crminal matters if you are unable to resolve on your own.

Adding to the information, the high commission has categorically asked for these documents because I disclosed that I was arrested.

It has been five years since the incident and no chargesheet has been filed. Therefore, there is no judgement with me to provide to the high commission. If this is the case I can reply that there are no criminal charges against me.

My understanding is that I am not facing any criminal charges. What is the legal definition on this? When is a person considered facing criminal charges?

Post the facts that are prevalent as on date...........

On 2011, I was remanded for 5 days in judicial custody for the case of impersonating a person.

There has been no final investigation and I am not required to appear in court for dates since 2015.

I am not sure where my status stands?

I also read in the forum that there is a timeline within which a chargesheet needs to be filed. Not sure if this applies to my case.

Till date no Charge Sheet filled in the court and there is no question of your being charged by the court under the criminal provisions, you need not state as being charged with any criminal provision, mere police complaint will not make you liable and that too if no FIR is regstered against you till date since 2011.

You have already disclosed that you were arrested.

Apparently The High Commission wants you to post the fate of the matter.
