I started my second year of engineering last year at a private college after clearing the ECET exam. Unfortunately, due to health and financial difficulties, I had to drop out within two months. I requested my certificates and paid a hefty sum of ₹35,000 to the college management. However, they are now demanding the entire three years’ fees in return for my certificates. I’ve heard that there’s a law against colleges withholding student certificates. What can I do to get my certificates back? I’ve already requested them and warned them about the law, but I haven’t received any response.

Indian law prohibits educational institutions from withholding certificates for non-payment of fees. You can file a complaint with the concerned authorities, such as the State Higher Education Council or the consumer forum, to seek intervention and retrieve your certificates. You can also consult a lawyer to explore legal recourse and challenge the college’s demand.

I bought a flat in a construction linked scheme under BSNL Sancharnest (a cooperative society) in Palm Wood, Ghaziabad, back in 2012. The promised possession date was December 2015. Recently, they’ve sprung a surprise, demanding an extra 1.5 lakhs on top of the original price. They’ve also made parking compulsory now, which wasn’t the case initially, and are asking another 2 lakhs for it. To add to this, they’ve mentioned they might increase the price further. On top of everything, they’ve changed the exit clause, denying immediate payment upon selling the flat. They’ll only return the money after a certain period.

Facing a nightmare with your new flat? Leaky walls, shoddy doors, and a builder who refuses to fix anything? He even carved out a flat in the parking space without your consent! How can you deal with this arrogant builder and get the quality you deserve?

I invested in the Homested Sohna Sector 215 project about two years ago. The project was soft launched, and I paid ₹9.5 lakhs for a 2 BHK apartment. However, the project hasn’t officially launched yet. Homested says they will refund my money without interest and provide a post-dated check four months after submitting my refund application. This means I’ll have to wait another six months to get my money back. Is it possible for me to get my money refunded with interest? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

I had laser hair removal done at Visage Clinic in Pune in September, October, and November of 2015. I paid the full amount of ₹75,000 for four full-body sessions. The doctor assured me that after these sessions, hair growth would be drastically reduced, leaving only very fine hairs. This was supposed to be evident within a couple of months. However, in 2016, I’m experiencing increased hair growth on my hands, chest, and legs. The doctor said this might be because they didn’t use a higher energy level during the treatments. I’m requesting a full refund. Can you advise me on what steps I can take in this situation? What are my chances of winning a case against the clinic? Could I also claim reimbursement for legal fees and other expenses incurred?
