As a government employee, a vigilance file was opened against me in June 2012 based on a complaint from another government agency. Despite this, my department hasn’t found any evidence of wrongdoing. The agency hasn’t provided any proof either. They recently sent a letter mentioning a pending Supreme Court case, but my name isn’t listed as a party. Is it fair for my department to withhold vigilance clearance due to this unrelated case?

Based on Indian laws, it’s not fair for your department to withhold vigilance clearance solely due to an unrelated Supreme Court case where you are not a party. A vigilance file should be based on specific allegations against you, and the department should thoroughly investigate those allegations before making any decisions. If the department hasn’t found any evidence of wrongdoing and the other agency hasn’t provided any proof, they should not hold back your clearance based on an unconnected case.
