Dear colleague,
Almost all companies are likely not to consider you for a job. However, depending on the minor or major criminal offense, there could be exceptions, which is the rarest of rare possibilities.

Dear member,
Yes, your concern is understandable. While doing a background check, companies might check whether any criminal case is pending against a candidate and may decide whether to hire him/her or not. However, this exposes the double standards of Indian business owners or HR professionals. A news report says that "43% of newly-elected Lok Sabha MPs face criminal charges". The average electorate does not have qualms in electing a criminal and allowing him/her to become a lawmaker. They get carried away by the top leader and do not mind criminals handling legislative matters of our country.
Some of the elected MPs have become union ministers as well. However, when it comes to selecting a job candidate, the legal dictum that "nobody is guilty unless proved" goes silent. Nobody tells a candidate of a political party to clear the criminal cases against him and then contest the elections, but the advice is reserved for a job candidate to do so. One should have lofty standards, but one should not be selective in applying them.
Anyway, keep on applying for the job. Sometimes luck might favor you, and you may not become a victim of pretentious grandstanding.
Thanks,

(Fact Check Failed/Partial)-The reply provided is partially correct. While it is true that companies may consider criminal cases during background verification, each case is unique with varied outcomes. It's essential to consider the specifics of your situation.
