Apply RTI on your name for any criminal case pending and if received NIL then keep it for yourself as supporting evidence

The information relating to FIRs and trials are mostly public record, barring the actual evidence led the orders and the FIR itself should all be available on the websites.

A question would arise here if you were charged in the case and faced trial or not? The word dismissal is rather vague as the court could have discharged you or acquitted you both of which would have different legal ramifications. The status of appeals, if any, would also have to be looked into.

Be that as it may, the passport offices are primarily concerned with prior convictions and pending cases more than anything else. However, in case you were involved in a criminal investigation but the charges against you were dropped you might be called to submit certifications qua the same. I can’t say with certainty without the full set of facts about your situation.

As for government serve, the conditions of the specific advertisement/notification for the job would have to be looked into. Normally, only crimes involving “moral turpitude”, convictions, etc., cause hurdles but again it is not exhaustive.
