A favorable issuance of a Police Clearance Certificate (PCC) is contingent upon judicial directive when criminal involvement exists.

Headnote:The petitioner seeks a favorable consideration for a Police Clearance Certificate (PCC) from the first respondent, which is denied due to his involvement in a criminal case. The Court directed that a Customized PCC be issued, mentioning the details of the criminal case as per the order in Ext. P1, to be executed within two weeks of receiving the certified copy of the judgment. This request reflects the procedural adherence concerning adverse criminal implications in issuing certification. The writ petition is disposed of accordingly.
