Legal Question in Employment Law in India

I was facing a trial under section 323/149, 504, 506(11),498A of IPC & sec 3/4 of dowry prohibition act as a co accused in the case filed by my bhabhi against my elder brother wherein I was also made co accused. Since I was student and was not aware of full facts of the case. During pendency of case, i got employment in a public sector bank and due to ignorance that i am coaccused , I declared that I am not involed in any court case. But on police verificattion about my character, bank got information about the pending case and bank has proceeded against me for concealing the fact of said pending case. The case is decided now and we all are acquitted and no appeal is filed against decision of court. What can be my defence points.

Since you have been acquitted from all charges, I see no reason why the bank should penalize you for any reason whatsoever.

Regards,
