Firstly please note that the proceedings under section 12 of the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act are not proceedings for an offence. These proceedings do not relate to an offence, but are meant for protection of the woman.
Likewise, the person against whom such proceedings are being conducted is not an accused, but he is referred to as respondent.
Generally speaking, such proceedings against a person should not come in the way of his getting a government job.
However, at the time of applying for the government job, in the appropriate column of the forms required to be filled up, you should submit correct information about the proceedings pending against you in any Court and you should not conceal any such information about the pendency of the proceedings in any court, including the proceedings under section 12 of the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act as mentioned by you.
