Related To Payemnt Of Fees From A Coaching Class


28-Feb-2026 (In Civil Law)
 I had enrolled for a program from a coaching institute in Noida in Decembef 2025 and paid Rs 2000 as token advance money. Rest 1 lac was to be paid after 1 month. But due to medical reasons I asked the institute to cancel my admission. But instead of refunding me the Rs 2000 , they have sent me a legal notice demanding Rs 1 lac from me for the course. I have not attended any class nor taken any educational services from them. They are yet to give any online access for the classes and allot me a batch. They have sent me a legal notice under order 37 of CPC , 1908 demanding money. Do I have to pay the amount to the institute even if I haven't taken any classes nor any educational services. Is this not mental harassment. Please provide a legal solution to the problem.

Under the new provisions of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) and the Consumer Protection Act, 2019, a coaching institute demanding ₹1 lakh without providing any service is completely illegal and constitutes an 'Unfair Trade Practice.' Since you were neither allotted a batch nor provided any classes, the institute's action legally falls under the category of 'extortion.' It is mandatory to file an effective and timely reply to the Order 37 CPC notice to prevent them from obtaining an ex-parte decree. For better legal protection and a formal documentary process (Reply to Notice), you may avail of my Paid Consultation service. We will conduct a detailed study of your file to ensure appropriate legal action (such as a Consumer Court Complaint). Regards, Sudesh Kumar Advocate LLB AND LLM DISTRICT & HIGH COURT

since, you have not taken admission, you don't have to give the remaining amount, give a detail reply to the notice they have sent, and further file the complaint to the police stating all your grievance to the police and attache all your medical papers
