Previous Institution denying Transfer certificate

731 votes

Dear Client, 1. Yes, you can take legal action because an educational institution cannot legally withhold a Transfer Certificate (TC) for non-payment of fees, and the Supreme Court and various High Courts have held that TC and educational records are student rights, not security for fee recovery; you may first send a written representation to the college and the University, and if they still refuse, you can file a Writ Petition under Article 226 before the High Court seeking a direction to immediately issue the TC, while the college is free to separately claim any pending fees through lawful civil process, but they cannot block your son’s future education by holding back the TC. 2. Consult an advocate to discuss your case in brief. 3. You may schedule an appointment regarding your case by phone or email at your convenience. Thanks & regards, Priyanka Advocate Coimbatore
