I faced some legal issues during my college days involving a senior student. The matter went to court, but I managed to resolve it amicably with the other party. We both withdrew the complaint, and the case was dismissed. Now, I’m applying for a government job, and the application asks if I’ve ever been prosecuted. How should I answer this question?

Since the case was dismissed and you withdrew your complaint, you were not technically prosecuted. You can answer “No” to the question. However, it’s advisable to be transparent and provide a brief explanation about the case and its resolution in a separate document if the application allows.
