Hi, a month ago, a complaint was filed against me by my brother-in-law in a police station, stating that he wants a compromise and not trouble me by opening an FIR.
Provocative words, by my brother in law were used to instigate me. Despite warning him twice, he resorted to the same language following which I ended up slapping him and pulled his ear. He is 7 years younger to me. This incident took place under the roof we are staying, together.
After reaching the police station, my wife and I explained the situation to the cops who took his case. Nevertheless, he and I, both, have a 70b nuisance case on us because the inspector suspected that we might end up fighting again. We live under the same roof. I was told that it is a petty case. We both appeared in the court, paid 200 rs for a fine and got the matter closed.
Now, I have joined an organization where they have a zero tolerance policy towards criminal cases. I'm suspecting that I might lose my employment.
Could anybody suggest what I could do to save myself from losing this job?

The easiest solution is for you to undertake anger management training to avoid being provoked. You also need to move far away from your brother and have nothing more to do with him if he is causing you problems.

There is nothing we can suggest to save your job. The matter rests entirely with your employer. You will need to negotiate with them regarding any action they might take.

Thank you, John. Appreciate your response to my query.

John, would you suggest that I wait to hear from my employer of the finding from my BGV, or, do you think it is a good idea for me to reach out to my manager and explain the situation?

I think it is preferable that you discuss this with your employer now rather than have them find out later with the background check. If it raises a red flag, then it is difficult to come back from the perception of dishonesty.

You need to explain calmly, quietly and rationally what happened, and that it is a family domestic problem that will have no bearing on your work with the company. One of the reasons I suggested anger management training was that it enables you to tell your manager, yes I have had problems but this is what I am doing to address it. The key, as always, is to present solutions, not problems. Your manager needs to be reassured that you are not going to cause problems to the company - either in your work, or your private life.

Last month, same or similar query posted vide the thread https://www.citehr.com/634289-sec70-...ml#post2477736. My suggestion had been as follows:

"As I could ascertain Section 70b of the Hyderabad Police Act states as follows:

70: Indecent acts in street etc.
Whoever in any street or public place or place of public resort (a) is in such a state of intoxication as not to be able to protect himself, (b) behaves in an indecent, riotous disorderly manner, (c) uses any threatening, insulting or obscene words or gestures, likely to disturb public peace or cause public nuisance, shall be punished with imprisonment for a term which may extend to eight days or with fine which may extend to fifty rupees

The matter is a petty offence and generally courts dispose of such cases on imposition of fine, once the accused pleads guilty. It is not necessary that the accused be present in the Court; an advocate could be authorised to represent him.

Once your friend receives the summons from the court, he may ascertain whether such a practice in in vogue in that court and, if so, he can plead guilty and get the matter closed.

The offence alleged does not involve moral turpitude and hence need not affect his prospects for public employment. However, he need to make a honest disclosure the information, as sought in the attestation form. (Every person, once selected for public appointment need to furnish such a form in the prescribed format)."
