Does criminal record have effect on grant of visa


08-Jun-2023 (In Criminal Law)
Hello. My name is . My neighbour has filed a case against me for trespassing u/s 448, 506. The case is in trail by a criminal court from the past 6 months. I have never seen judge till now. Every time they would call my name and before I could say anything they will just say when is my next date. Now my neighbour is willing to withdraw the case (compromise) my next hearing is on 26th july. If he agrees for compromise on that day will the case be dismissed and the FIR on me gets void? If so how much time will it take to close the case permanently? And if the case is closed will it reflect in my past criminal activity or offenses? I am willing to go to USA for higher studies will this case be any issue during visa ? Please help me out. Thank you

Hello sir, why will u wait that time, u can compromise it very easy also by filing compromise in high court or advancement petition in same court, because the offences registerred against you are compoundable offences

Hello, Both the sections 448 & 506 IPC are compoundable in nature. The complainant and you both have to arrive at a compromise and he will need to file compromise petition along with it a compromise deed and seek withdrawal of the case on the basis of compromise. On the recording of statements of both the parties, the magistrate will close the case. You can show the record of dismissal of case against you to the passport authorities and I believe it will not effect your overseas higher studies.

Hi, You are not mentioned the case closed or not. Do you have the lok adalat judgement copy not. Trespassing is a criminal offence and punishable. your PCC depends on the case status and you have to show the judgement copy at the time of PCC verification. Your visa depends on the PCC verification. good luck
