As per supreme court guide line,once you have taken admission in any college and have got your admission cancelled within 7days of the end of admission period,you can so by paying 10% of the tuition fee,but after this period you have to pay one semester tuition fee.

THERE IS NO SUCH ORDER OF SUPREME COURT. THE COLLEGE CANNOT CHARGE YOU THE FEE FOR CLASS IN WHICH YOU ARE NOT ENROLLED. THE ACTION OF THE COLLEGE IS ARBITRARY, CAPRICIOUS, CLOURABLE EXERCISE OF POWER AND MALAFIDE.

Demanding second year fee is absolutely illegal without there being admission in it. Fees is levied for services provided. When there is no service of education of 2nd yr, then demanding fee for it is arbitrary and unjustified. If u challenge it in court, court will direct the college to not demand fees and direct college to issue tc. U have a good case. If ur college is govt. or receives aide from govt. Then writ petition in High Court can be filed. If purely private then a civil suit can be filed to challenge it.
