I applied for a government company A while I was working in government company B, but I didn't mention in the application form that I am working in government services, as company B doesn't provide an NOC before 3 years of service. Now I am selected for company A, so if they do a background check and find out that I was working in government service at the time of application, can they sue me for information suppression and cancel my candidature?

Non-furnishing of NOC for job shifts before completing certain years of service in the organization is a rule to reduce frequent employee turnover only. However, such a rule cannot extinguish the right of the employee to resign when a better opportunity is available to him/her. Still, when applying for another job, especially in a different government company, you could have requested an NOC as a special case. If refused, you could have mentioned this in your application to the new job instead of omitting the information.

Disclosure of Employment Status in Application Forms

In case Company A sought information on your employment status specifically in the application form and you suppressed it, then it is a serious matter and action is likely. Here, I am not talking about the general clause in such advertisements that employees working in Government/PSUs shall forward their applications through the proper channel, and you didn't bother with it. In general, it is not likely that Company A would take action against you for suppressing your employment status in B while applying for it. Non-disclosure of employment status is not a serious offense affecting your eligibility but is only a matter of procedure in the interest of PSUs.

It is advisable that you get proper relieving from Company B while joining A. This would help in case there is any issue about it in the future.
