False Accident case pending and employment with MNC - Should I inform the HR myself or keep quiet?

kalia-nath
Hi, I am about to join XXX in August. When they came to our college, I had given the undertaking that no case is pending against me since nothing was there.
Now a false accident case has been filed against me with no records in the FIR (name, vehicle number).
The case is being contested in the court. Please help me how should I go ahead with joining XXX?? Should I inform the HR myself or keep quiet about it since the company will conduct background check.
Please help.

Dear ANNONYMOUS,
I would suggest don't hide any thing. Tell your HR with your details otherwise you will work in fear through out your employment.
Thanks,
Vineet
