As per the Khanapuram Gandaiah 2010 case, you have the right to know the status of the police verification process. File an RTI application and ask for the status, and also ask for the timeline for the completion of the process.

The police station may deny the information under §8(1)(j) of the RTI Act 2005, citing that the information is personal in nature. But you can still try to file an RTI.
