I AM A engineer graduate . i have finished my college and was working .by 2017 i have resigned my job and was preparing to leave india to canada in search of job.during that time i used work as an acting driver as an part time job.one day i got a client asking for a trip tp pondicherry. and they provided a room for me and i stayed there for a night. and next day before returning they went out and came and asked me to get ready to leave . so i took the car and started back home.so police stopped on a checkpost and i stopped .while checking the car the boot was loaded with liquor .and police filed a case including me under spirit case under section 4(1)(aaa).and arrested me as A3 . i got bail and came back to my home town. and i din recieve any sommon after that . its been 5 years.ow again i got an opportunity to leave to germany. a lawyer suggested me to apply for an noc in chennai high court . is it enough to clear the visa process? can you get a visa if you have a criminal record in india ? i never had any offence before
