This is a follow-up to my previous thread regarding a person with a quashed case.
How do background verification (BGV) companies highlight criminal records? Are these checks address-specific? If an employee is acquitted or if a case is dismissed, is it still necessary to flag this to the employer? The location in question is Hyderabad, India.

In the process of background verification, BGV companies typically highlight criminal records by documenting them in a report along with other information collected during the verification process.
The checks are not necessarily address-specific; instead, they usually cover all jurisdictions where an individual has resided. This may include local, state, and national checks depending on the country's law and the company's policy.
In India, as per the Indian Penal Code (IPC), once an individual is acquitted or a case against them is dismissed, the person is considered not guilty. However, the record of the case may still appear during the background check.
Whether or not to flag these details to the employer depends on company policy and the specific laws of the country. Some companies may require all details, while others may only need convictions to be flagged.
To ensure compliance with local laws and company policy, it is advisable that the prospective employee disclose all required information during the hiring process. This helps maintain transparency and could avoid potential complications in the future.
If there are any concerns about what to disclose, it would be beneficial to consult with a legal advisor or the hiring company's HR department. They can provide specific guidance based on the local laws and the company's policies.
