Reading: A club secretary in India was accused under Section 135 of the Electricity Act, 2003. The club cleared all charges, and the case was compounded. The special court discharged the secretary. Now, he’s applying for a government job and needs to fill out a police verification form. Should he mention this case, which wasn’t personally against him? Could this past case, despite the discharge, affect his chances of getting the government job? There was no arrest or detention.

While the case was discharged and not personally against the secretary, it’s advisable for him to mention the case in the police verification form. Although the discharge may not directly affect his chances of getting the job, omitting this information could lead to potential issues later if it surfaces during the verification process.
