If an FIR was registered suo motu under Section 35(i) BNSS and the status now shows “referred / further action dropped”, it means the police have closed the case without proceeding and there is no charge sheet or trial against you. For competitive exam forms asking “Is any criminal case registered against you?”, it is safer to answer “YES” with proper disclosure, and mention that the FIR was suo motu and later referred/closed with no further action. Suppression of facts may create problems later during verification. In most cases, police verification will be cleared when the FIR is closed or referred, especially when no offence is made out. You may obtain a closure/referred report or CSR/FIR status document from the police to support your verification. Transparency works in your favour; a closed FIR by itself does not amount to disqualification unless rules specifically state otherwise.
