Dear Client,
An accident case with an FIR filed in 2017-2018, even with only an OPD number and no hospitalization under Sections 279, 338, and 134A and B of the MV Act, could potentially create a problem in job applications despite your acquittal in May 2025.
While the judgment stating it wasn't you or your vehicle at the accident spot, and the complainant's lack of interest in pursuing the case are strong mitigating factors, background checks often reveal FIRs and legal proceedings, regardless of the outcome. Employers, especially for roles involving driving, trust, or public interaction, might view the existence of such a case with caution.
It's crucial to obtain certified copies of your acquittal judgment and be prepared to honestly and concisely explain the situation if asked on job applications or during interviews, emphasizing the acquittal and the reasons behind it to mitigate any potential negative perception.
