      Dear Sir,

      Am I eligible to join a government job if a case is pending into court under IPC 354, 343 ?

      While it is for the concerned authority to take the final call, generally speaking, a pending case under Sections 354, 343 IPC should not come in the way of getting a job. You should, however, declare about the pending criminal case transparently in the relevant columns of the attestation form / police verification form when you are offered a job.

      But, after conviction in the criminal case, if any, the competent authority may take action against the government servant concerned, which may generally be removal or dismissal from service in such a case.
