Original documents taken by college and not returning
27-May-2023 (In Civil Law)
I have submitted my original documents of 10th 12th in my college during admission time. I am in private dental college. Currently I am in second year and want to drop out but my college is not returning my documents. They are asking me to pay the fees of remaining years then only they will return the documents.
I don’t remember that if I have sign any paper regarding acceptance of this at the time of admission or not. But according to ugc guidelines no college can take original documents
Hello
Colleges do collect original documents but they cannot hold it back at the pretext that you have to pay the fees for the remaining years. You can file a complaint against them that they are holding your documents in such a malafide manner. There are UGC guidelines against such action. Please raise the issue.

Speak to an actual lawyer about your legal problem. Please contact the closest advocate to you and ask them to send a legal notification to the College Administration.

How do I get my original college documents back?
Write a request: Most colleges require that a request be made in writing before original documents can be released. You can write a formal request to the registrars office stating your desire for original documents. Include details like your name, student ID and the documents that you require. 25-Feb-2023
Yes,
In this case the college cannot hold your documents and they have to return it as soon as you ask for it. You are only bound for pay for the years you have studied and not beyond it.
If the college is not giving back the documents, it is advisable that we send them a legal notice, if they are not returning the documents through other means.
Thanks
