Depends. If the background check (or their question) is for ARRESTS, then yes, the arrest will be found. If it for CONVICTIONS.... then it likely will NOT be found.

I also wanted to know how to pay off the civil demand fine??
What did your attorney (or court) say when you contacted them?

How the hell do you expect us to know what your employer (or his 'investigator') might do?
Tell the truth on your application and let your actions land wherever they do.

Thanks a lot for the suggestion.
You got my question wrong, I was not asking as to what would they do if they come to know.

I was only asking ,if they take my SSN and perform a background check,will this case information seen on the database? because its now not a criminal offense.

People who have knowledge regarding this issue please suggest me.
Thank you

There are all kinds of different 'background searches' that can be done and how 'deep' each go'. We have no idea how 'deep' your employer may be paying for his searches. That is why I answered as I did. There is no 'standard' search result.
