To the above queries, please clarify as to how and why the bank passbook has been retained by the college. Secondly, write a formal applications with a copy to the Education Secretary, Govt with the facts under which the passbook was retained by the college with malicious intent and send this through a registered post. If still, they do not respond to your grievance, Pls take assistance of a lawyer and send them a formal legal notice.

The Bank cannot withhold your passbook without assigning any reason for the same. Depending on whether they have given a reason or not, a legal notice would be the first step towards procuring the same after which, a consumer complaint may be filed before the appropriate forum.
