A club secretary in India was accused under Section 135 of the Electricity Act, 2003. The club cleared all charges, and the case was compounded. The special court discharged the secretary. Now, he’s applying for a government job and needs to fill out a police verification form. Should he mention this case, which wasn’t personally against him? Could this past case, despite the discharge, affect his chances of getting the government job? There was no arrest or detention.

Under Indian law, a witness’s refusal to testify without reasonable cause can be considered contempt of court. This could potentially benefit the other party in the case as the judge might draw adverse inferences against the witness’s testimony or even impose penalties.
