No it is not necessary to mention the details of the disposed case especially if you were not convicted in the case.
2. the court have not provided any document for the case disposal, is it necessary to have the same and how can I get the document?
If you were acquitted, then the court will not provide any document and will simply say that the cae is disposed, you are released from the cae, you can go now.
Therefore. if you want to have the judgment copy you may have to apply for a certified copy, of the same or contact your advocate for this.
1.i the case is dismissed then there is nothing to worry though you may will have to disclose it if it is specifically asked for.
2. Courts do not give any document. You will have to apply for certified copy of the order ofthe court.
Contact your previous lawyer or any law clerk of the court.
