As the settlement was done in 498 a matter ..and you hv not been charged so there will be no problem with any kind of service matters and police verification..how ever while joining you should mention about this case history to your employer..

since the case is closed you will not face any problem in getting employment. However, you have to mention the detail of FIR or the case decree in the application form in column where it is asked "have you ever been convicted / arrested in criminal matter".
