The police can arrest you under these sections if they find sufficient grounds. You should receive a copy of the FIR. It is advisable to consult a lawyer immediately and follow their guidance. This could involve going to the police station with your lawyer to seek bail or to cooperate with the investigation.

Dear Sir/Madam, I was convicted in a dowry case (Section 498A) in 2013 by the Taluka court in Chandrapur. I received a six-month sentence and a fine of ₹2,000. I appealed the verdict to the Senior Division of the Chandrapur Civil and Sessions Court. Since 2013, I’ve been on bail while awaiting the outcome of the appeal. During this period, I have been preparing for government jobs and have cleared several exams. I now have an opportunity to join a government position. However, I am worried about police verification. I am only disclosing the pending case at the district court, Chandrapur, during the assessment process. I am not mentioning the conviction. Will my job be at risk during police verification? Should I be upfront about the conviction? Your guidance would be greatly appreciated.

My neighbour’s driver, claiming to have government housing allotment papers, presented a photocopy to the court. The judge accepted it. After checking, I realised the document was forged. I informed the judge, but he refused to act. Is accepting a photocopy or forged document not a crime? Is the judge also complicit, along with the driver and his lawyer? How can this be justified? Should the High Court intervene to clear this mess? I need legal advice.
