One of my friends has a motor vehicle case under sections 279/338/304a, but it is a false allegation. He works in a reputed MNC (Software Company). So, my question is, can he switch to another MNC like TCS, CTS, Infosys, or JP Morgan without facing issues during the background verification process?
I would appreciate any guidance you can provide on this matter.
Thank you.

Dear member,
You could have provided details of the case. Anyway, the details of the sections of IPC under which your friend has been booked are as below:
Section 279: Rash driving or riding on a public way
Section 338: Causing grievous hurt by an act endangering life or personal safety of others
Section 304A: Causing death by negligence
The charges under which the police have booked your friend are serious. It is impossible to predict how the recruitment authorities will look at the charges. However, if the case is ongoing, then until the court gives its ruling, your friend cannot be held guilty. Therefore, he may approach other companies to pursue better opportunities. If you say that he has been booked falsely, then much depends on a lawyer who defends his case. Your friend's innocence has to be proved in court.
Another way to look at the situation is to lie low until the outcome of the court case. Once the court acquits him, he can very well approach other companies for better opportunities. I say so because by chance if your friend clears the recruitment tests and interviews, but in case his candidature is turned down owing to the court case at hand, it will only disappoint him. So why take a chance?
Thanks,
