You have joined as an Assistant Professor in a Government University in Punjab. As part of the university’s standard appointment procedure, a police verification was initiated. The police report received by the university states, “His criminal record is silent.”
This expression is a standard phrase used in official police correspondence and implies that the individual has no entries or adverse remarks in the criminal record maintained by the police authorities. Therefore, the report affirms that you do not have any criminal history or pending criminal cases as per police records.
In the context of government employment procedures, such a remark constitutes a clean verification. The university, upon receiving this report, should treat the police verification process as successfully concluded. You are not required to take any further action unless the university specifically requests additional clarification or documentation.
If the university has not raised any objections or sought further details following the receipt of the report, you may consider the matter closed from your end. The phrase used in the police verification report is both legally and administratively acceptable, and it satisfies the background verification norms applicable to your appointment.
Should any further issue arise or if the university requires assistance in interpreting the report, you may present this clarification. If you require further legal assistance, you may contact me.
