Hi all, I need some information. My wife filed a 498a case against me. Now, she wants to stay with me and is doing everything she can to make that happen. However, I have lost my job, my career, and everything else. The case is still under trial and pending the first hearing. My wife has mentioned that she is willing to compromise and withdraw the case during the first hearing.
Career Concerns in the BPO Field
I work in the BPO field and am currently seeking a new job in MNC companies. I recently discovered that these companies conduct criminal background verifications. I am concerned about my eligibility for MNC jobs with an FIR already filed against me at a police station.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

When your wife withdraws the case, please ask for an order to be passed stating that the case has been dismissed as both the petitioner and accused have compounded the offense. Alternatively, you can move to the High Court under section 482 of the Cr.P.C seeking to quash the case based on the fact that you and your wife have reconciled and are willing to live together. Make sure to obtain a copy of the order and keep it in your records so that you can use it to protect yourself when needed. I don't believe that BPO industries conduct checks on police complaints unless they have any doubts.

Understanding 498A and Its Implications
498A is a criminal case. Staying with you or not is a family (Civil) case. Your wife can actually continue with the 498A case even while staying with you. Please ensure that you take the help of a lawyer. There are instances where the wife will compromise and take back the family case and still fight for the 498A case. This is going to be very traumatic. So consult an able legal practitioner before proceeding.

Understanding Section 498A and Its Implications
I think Section 498A is non-compoundable, which means that your wife cannot withdraw the case. What often happens in a compromise is that the wife would state during examination in court that such a thing never happened. The wife saying something against the case is sufficient, and subsequently, the case could be dismissed, leading to your acquittal.
When the case is acquitted, I don't believe it will affect your career. However, being acquitted grants you all the rights of an innocent man. It is advisable to consult a Legal Practitioner.
