Legal action when one does not wants to pay full tuition amount


19-Jul-2023 (In Cheque Bounce Law)
I recently joined a coaching institute 2 months ago who promised to train doctors for an entrance exam for the UK. The course fee was 3 lakh rupees. I joined the course. On the first day itself, the doctor running the institute asked me to give cheques worth 3 lakh rupees even before attending a single class. After attending the classes I found that he hardly has the knowledge to teach and keeps repeating the same things again and again. I had told him to take 1 lakh and that amount has been transferred to him on the first day itself. I now want to leave the course after attending for a month, and don't want to pay the rest of the amount as he is incapable of teaching and has limited knowledge. However, when I told him he said that I have to pay the entire amount or else he will put a case against me. He now has 2 cheques of 1 lakh each with him. is there any way out of this?

Is there a valid consideration for the cheque and the proving of the transaction etc...are the matter to be proved. Since there is no consideration for the cheque you can be discharged from liability regarding the said cheque. You can send a lawyers notice to return the cheque immediately before any misuse.

Hai,

your query is incomplete. I need to to know the duration of the course and also your query says primarly as its been 2 months and then says u went for about a month n then discontinued. Now the details of cheque, whether its perfectly executed in full by you or not. The idea is whether there is any need for you to do after a dispute or not.
If all the details is against you u must take some precautions at the earliest as possible including issuing a stop memo of the wrong cheques, loadging private complaints and also a demand notice at the first instance claiming the cheques back to your possession. I think its high time to meet your lawyer...

Hope am upto your query

From your question it is not clear about the duration of the course. You are advised to contact a lawyer and give as notice to the person concerned starting the fact that you don't want to continue the course immediately. You can also give stop memo regarding the payment of cheques. This is a case in which you have to seek professional help at the earliest.
