Legal Question in Criminal Law in India

Hi,

I got arrested under women harassment act in the year of 2008 as planned by a girl who was well known to me, I was there in jail for 3 days. After struggling a lot, I compromised opp party and filed a petition to quash the case. After all court formalities, my state high-court quashed the case completely including the FIR.(No charge sheet was filed till then).

Though I have come out from the issue completely, I am thinking that this "ARREST" may affect all my future problems.

Now my company is ready to offer me a onsite opportunity to US, in the US application for there is a tricky question like"Have you ever been arrested OR convicted?". In this, if I say YES then I will face problem in the current company itself, becoz I haven't informed the people on this. If I mention as NO for this question, if US consolate come to know about this ARREST HISTORY, then that may push me even more worst scenario for ever.

Could you please suggest me what is legal in this?

such arrest do not come in the way of your professional commitments. also, you should not conceal a fact which fact is otherwise on public domain. further, quashing of FIR means no case. your arrest has been wiped off. you may just write the details of case with the date of order of quashing of FIR. For any further clarification, you may write.
