I’m a GNM nurse from a village near Bangalore, and I wanted to pursue a BSc Nursing degree from Laxmidevi Nursing Institute in Hoskote. I trusted an agent to help me with the admission process and submitted my original certificates as they asked. But due to financial difficulties, I had to withdraw my application in December 2013. However, the college is now refusing to return my original certificates unless I pay two years’ fees, which is around two lakh rupees. I’m desperate to get my certificates back. What legal options do I have?

You have legal grounds to demand the return of your original certificates. Under Indian law, educational institutions cannot withhold certificates for non-payment of fees, especially after withdrawal. You can file a complaint with the Karnataka Private Educational Institutions Regulatory Authority (KPEIRA) and approach the consumer forum for redressal.

I want to make sure I’m not doing anything illegal with copyright. Any advice on navigating this?

I filed a complaint against ICICI Bank in the Belgaum court regarding my pension. The court accepted my petition and ordered the police to investigate the matter and file an FIR against the bank and its 10 directors. While the FIR is registered, the police aren’t actively investigating and are suggesting I withdraw the case and pursue it in a civil court. I believe this is happening due to pressure from ICICI Bank. The investigating officer (IO) is refusing to investigate and plans to return the case to the court as a “civil matter.” What are my options now?
