Yes, a cheque bounce case can be filed against a government employee just like against any other individual, as they are not immune from legal proceedings under the Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881. If a cheque issued by a government employee is dishonored, the payee can initiate action by issuing a legal notice within 30 days of receiving the bank's return memo. If the payment is not made within 15 days of receiving the notice, the complainant can file a criminal complaint in court under Section 138 of the Act.

If you can settle this issue with to whom you issued cheque. You can also do outside court settlement. Once if you settle this issue there will be no affect on your job. If you do not settle you have to face punishment given by the court

Dear, Once the case is settled either out of court or on merits i.e, after contesting and acquitted from the case, there will be no criminal charges against you and when there are no criminal charges against you, there will not be any effect on your job. Try to settle the matter with the complainant out of court to avoid the delay of the court room proceedings.
