Pending case would affect your PCC

- If you have already granted bail/anticipatory bail , then the pendency of the said case will have no effect on your PCC clearance. 

- The police cannot reject PCC on the ground of pendency of 498A case before the Court , if you are on bail. 

The main purpose of Police Verification is to boost safety and security by ensuring that individuals with criminal backgrounds do not gain access to positions of trust. This is particularly important for critical positions that require dealing with sensitive information or customer-facing roles such as that of a gig worker, or even in the case of a blue-collar worker where an incident can sabotage an organisation’s reputation and lead to loss of business.

Since the pending criminal complaint pertains to the matrimonial dispute alone and not involving any moral turpitude the police may even take a lenient step towards the issuance of clearance certificate.

Dear client,

A pending Section 498A case can indeed affect your ability to obtain a Police Clearance Certificate (PCC). Since a criminal case is pending against you, it is likely to show up during the police verification process for the PCC. This could result in your application being denied. If there are no specific court orders restricting your movement or requiring you to stay within a certain jurisdiction, you might still be able to apply for the PCC. However, the pending case itself can be a significant hurdle. One potential option is to seek the quashing of the 498A case under Section 482 of the Criminal Procedure Code (CrPC). If the case is quashed, it would no longer appear on your record, making it easier to obtain the PCC.
