Since IPC 290 is a petty offence, you can file an affidavit explaining it was a minor issue and submit a certified copy of the disposal order. Some departments allow selection if the offence was not serious. You can also file for record clearance in court for better chances. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
