In every form or any Visa, you should have mentioned your entire details. If there is specific clause related to F.I.R. or any case than you should mentioned the details if there is no clause related to F.I.R. or any case than you are not required to mentioned because you have no option.

Do not present false documents. Fraud or misrepresentation can result in permanent visa ineligibility. If confidentiality is of concern, the applicant should bring the documents to the Embassy or Consulate in a sealed envelope. The Embassy or Consulate will not make this information available to anyone and will respect the confidentiality of the information. You should bring the following documents to your interview. Original documents are always preferred over photocopies and you must bring these documents with you to the interview. Do not fax, email or mail any supporting documents to the Embassy or Consulate.

a) Current proof of income, tax payments, property or business ownership, or assets.

b) A letter from your employer detailing your position, salary, how long you have been employed, any authorized vacation, and the business purpose, if any, of your U.S. trip.

c) Criminal/court records pertaining to any arrest or conviction anywhere, even if you completed your sentence or were later pardoned.

It is better to mention details of conviction rather and concealing and then getting permanently ineligible for visa. See the long term benefit.
