You prepare PSC, Until you are get convicted, you deemed to be innocent as per law. But do not conceal the fact of FIR and criminal proceedings against you in any form submitted to the employer.

"Until you are get convicted, you deemed to be innocent as per law."

I wish if it could really happen in servic ematters.

The situation is 180 degree opposite. You have to be poresumed guilty unless acquitted (that too on merit not on prcedureal /technical grounds).

So you cannot join as long as the case is pending or you are not acquitted on merit.

So it means i wait to spoil my career due to a false case and only due to delay of court.

What choice do you have?

You can appear in anyexam/inerview for govt post. If selected you can be sent for medical examination but offer of appointment will never be issued unless police writes "no case pending against the candidate"

There is also no provision to keep the vacancy open to wait for acquittal.
