Reading: A few years ago, I was involved in a tragic accident where a baby, about 6 months old, passed away. Cases under sections 304 and 277 were filed against me. While I reached a settlement and was acquitted by the Lok Adalat, I didn’t collect the official court order. Recently, the police station confirmed that the complaint under section 304 is still on record. I’m applying for a government job now. Will this past case create any issues in my application? What should I do?

The acquittal by the Lok Adalat, while not a formal court order, demonstrates your innocence. However, the record of the complaint under Section 304 might raise concerns for a government job. You should seek legal advice from a lawyer regarding the implications of this record and explore options like obtaining a formal court order or requesting clarification from the police station.
