Pending criminal case can I apply for government jobs

Dear Querist,
You need to file a petition under section 482 of code of criminal procedure for quashing of F.I.R before appropriate High Court immediately. Once you file petition submitting that said FIR has been lodged on false and frivolous ground, it can be quashed.

Yes usually in most of the govt sector services they do insist that the candidate must have clean record which includes no criminal case is pending against you. In your case after seeing through your nature of the case you can move a Petition under Sec 482 of IPC for quashing of the FIR. That's the only best option and the other may be you can enter into a compromise with the victim but there is a risk in it that is some times organizations don't accept it since compromise is a way of settling the matter and you have not been acquitted by a competent court of law. So better approach the concerned High Court for quashing of the FIR.
