not a judge cos the only times one get to see the judge in person (not a cherished occasion) is when he need to appear in court to answer to the charge and whether claim trial, PG...that itself will be another topic for the day
in general
case investigation done and IP put up to AGC to determine on appropriate course of action
AGC will then direct the law enforcement agency to proceed with
a) formal court charge (appear in state courts for 1st mention for example)
b) issue stern/written warning in lieu of prosecution
c) no further action taken
from looks of it, likely your "friend" got away with (b)?
and depend on job nature etc, HR has discretion to conduct necessary screening/background checks on the applicant/candidate...so likely if need to screen, sure will prowl the cyberspace, and the likes of MSD, ISD and CRO etc for any dark secrets that the applicant didn't truthfully declare in the app form |
an insightful reply filled with relevant information, thanks so much. the case was so small that it would have never made it to the news. and no, it was never mentioned in the news or online. if you meant the hr department will check the internet for more info my friend, i doubt they can find any. he doesn't use internet nor social media. And this case happened like more than 15 years ago.
Now my friend is only wondering can HR department have that far reaching ability to find out from
CID regarding any previous arrests, even if there was no formal charge or conviction, or criminal record.
Have you ever been arrested or detained by police? To click yes or no, that is the worry he has.
