In a case of this nature (Section 324 IPC), in which you have already been acquitted by the competent court, I think you would not face problems in getting the government job, though it is ultimately for the appointing authority to take a call. At the same time, you should not conceal information about the case in the forms required to be filled up by you at the time of getting employment. If you conceal this information, that itself may amount to a misconduct or a ground for a future action against you by the department. But, if you disclose the information properly, also mentioning that you have been acquitted in the said case, there are good chances that you may be appointed to the job despite the said case. In the worst scenario, if the said job is declined, you can challenge the decision in the competent court or tribunal.
