I completely agree with you, Sir. I am indeed indebted to the CiteHR team for their valuable advice and support. I also appeal to everyone to present the complete facts without any fear. There should be no apprehension in telling the truth. I admit I was a bit skeptical in the beginning, but now I am relieved after presenting the full facts.

I've decided I'll not ponder over this matter anymore. Me and my family have already suffered a lot due to this false 498a FIR. I still remember how I was a young boy then and I had to fight the corrupt Indian system. Any other person would have succumbed to the trauma. But I had to fight because I couldn't see evil winning. The police did not dare to falsely implicate me, but it did indict my parents and brother falsely. However, the complainant herself confessed in court that she had filed the case due to a minor misunderstanding and that she had stayed in our house for just 4 days. As a result, my family was honorably acquitted. I've seen the ugly side of Indian law, and I've decided that if I ever face any problem due to this false FIR, I'll never do any job. Instead, I'll practice law and give justice to innocent people.
Sadly, corruption is not confined to India; it is everywhere. What we need are people who are strong and will stand up and fight for what is right. I hope that one day you will find the strength and courage to practice law or whatever is necessary to help your fellow men and women achieve justice and not have to suffer as your family has. Good luck.

Dear All,
There has been a matrimonial dispute going on between me and my wife. My wife has falsely implicated me in cases and lodged an FIR against me and my family under sections 354, 323, 324, 506, and 509. I am an IT engineer working in an IT company. I am concerned whether these FIRs will have a negative impact on my career and if I could lose my job.
Regards,

Mere lodging of an FIR may not result in losing your job. Many cases which arise due to matrimonial disputes are false, exaggerated, and made out of anger. Even courts have taken a dim view of the misuse of laws to protect women. One must take a careful view after consulting your lawyer about the case filed against you. Keep your management informed about the case.

Hello Neeraj,
The sections you mentioned don't have 498A—related to Dowry harassment—which is non-bailable. Hence, I don't think you need to worry much... But suggest consulting a lawyer ASAP.
Unfortunately, private companies really don't have a clear roadmap/rules on how to respond to such situations. Every company can respond differently to the same set of sections filed against two employees. Right or wrong wouldn't be the issue here from the employee's perspective. It will be more about the time, money, and effort issues from his/her end to handle such situations.
However, I think you need to think more about how you will go about handling the leaves needed for court appearances, which could be often. If you manage the permission for not appearing in person, that would be good for you.
Like Nathrao suggested, inform your company... But first, consult your lawyer on how to inform them. There could be many nuances in that act, as how the company responds depends on how you inform them.
All the best.

Hello, sir. Against one of my friends, an FIR is filed in an accidental case. He surrendered to the police station and also got bail. Will he be punished or penalized? Will it affect his future career? Can he get a government job? If the opposite party withdraws the case, will he be eligible for a government job and other jobs?
