Removing name from police records after acquittal
8 months ago
I got acquittal from criminal case against me in 2016 and now I want to clear my name from police records.
A.Dear Client,
In India, the process of clearing your name from police records after an acquittal in a criminal case involves obtaining a "Police Clearance Certificate" (PCC) that reflects your cleared status. Here are the general steps you can take to achieve this:
Application for Police Clearance Certificate (PCC):
Visit Police Station: Approach the police station where the case was registered or the nearest police station.
Request for PCC: Request a Police Clearance Certificate and explain that you were acquitted in the case. Provide details of the case, including the FIR number and the court's judgment of your acquittal.
Submission of Documents:
Provide Relevant Documents: Typically, you'll need to submit documents supporting your acquittal. These might include copies of the court's judgment or acquittal order.
Verification and Processing:
Document Verification: The police authorities will likely verify the provided documents and cross-reference them with their records to ensure your acquittal.
Processing Time: The processing time for a Police Clearance Certificate can vary. It might take some time for the police to complete the verification process.
Issuance of PCC:
If the police are satisfied with the verification, they will issue a Police Clearance Certificate that indicates your cleared status. This certificate is evidence that you were acquitted of the charges and that your name has been cleared from police records.
Relevant Laws and Guidelines:
It's important to be aware that laws and procedures can vary across states and jurisdictions in India. The specifics of obtaining a PCC might differ depending on local regulations.
Remember that while a Police Clearance Certificate can help demonstrate your cleared status, it might not completely erase records of the case from all databases. However, it can be a valuable document when you're applying for jobs, visas, or other situations that require a background check
Thanks
