Govt job

I have selected in govt job , I had faced 107/116 crpc, In attestation form question is HAVE YOU EVER BEEN BOUND DOWN? YES/NO..
WHAT SHOULD I DO YES OR NO?


Quick Summary
This discussion addresses a candidate's concern about answering 'Have you ever been bound down?' on a government job attestation form, following proceedings under Section 107/116 of the CrPC. The consensus is that since Section 107/116 CrPC deals with bailable offences and the candidate was not arrested or convicted, they should answer 'No' if they were not formally 'bound down'. Further clarification on the specific government and the outcome of the proceedings is recommended for a definitive answer.

Section 107/116 of the CrPC is considered a bailable offence as it primarily deals with requiring a person to execute a bond for maintaining peace, which does not fall under the category of a serious crime that would warrant non-bailable status.

You were not arrested and convicted hence, you may decide to answer accordingly

Which Government? Generally, such information is not sought in an attestation form.

So also, what had been the Order passed in caonsequence to the proceedings under Section 107/116 CrPC?
