I was involved in a fight in college back in 2011 and the college filed a case against me. However, they withdrew the complaint in 2013 and the matter was settled through a Lok Adalat. I was cleared of all charges. Could this past incident impact my chances of getting a government job? Would it cause problems during police verification?

While the matter was settled through a Lok Adalat and you were cleared of all charges, the police verification for a government job may still reveal this past incident. The police verification process looks at your overall history and this incident, even if settled, may be mentioned in the report. However, it is unlikely to disqualify you as long as you provide a clear explanation and the case was settled amicably.
