Check the terms and conditions signed by you during admission in the college and on that basis you may thru advocate issue a legal notice and thereafter if they fail to return the documents file complaint with eduacation ministry and court. But first check the terms and conditions before taking any action.

The college cannot withhold your certificates. You can get an order from the appropriate court with a mandate to the college to return your certificates. It depends on the period of course attended by you before you dropped out that will determine any charges to be paid or not.

If your college is not returning your original certificates and is demanding full fees, it's essential to address this issue carefully. Based on the information provided on the linked page and considering the keywords, here are the steps you can take:

Communicate With the College: Start by reaching out to the college authorities in writing, requesting the return of your original certificates and seeking clarification regarding their demand for full fees. Keep copies of all your communications for documentation.

• Review College Policies: Examine your college's policies, particularly those related to the return of certificates and fee structure. Ensure that you understand the terms and conditions you agreed to when enrolling.
• Consult a Legal Expert: If communication with the college does not yield results, consider consulting a legal expert, preferably one with expertise in consumer rights and education laws. They can provide guidance on your rights and legal options. You will most likely be directed to send a legal notice to the college. 
• Consumer Court Complaint: As a last resort, you may file a complaint with the consumer court if you believe your consumer rights are being violated. Provide all necessary documentation and evidence to support your case.
• Negotiation: It's often beneficial to attempt negotiation or mediation with the college before pursuing legal action. This can sometimes lead to a mutually agreeable resolution.

Remember that resolving such issues can be time-consuming, so it's advisable to maintain patience and seek legal counsel when necessary.
