This query is : Resolved
I had completed my graduation from Lotus Bausch & Lomb Institute of Optometry at Coimbatore. After graduation we were told and signed to do compulsory bond for 1 year. But as i was pregnant i could do at that time and postponed it to the next year. However, after 1 year the institue cancelled the bond for all. But they are insisting me to do the bond or to pay Rs 120000. All my 10th and 12th certificates are with them and they are not returning
I know that the management is playing andthey have already given the certificates to some students even without paying or without completeing the bond.
Please advise me on how to get my certificates. If i can legally complaint aginst this and how long the process will take.

Is there any chance for the college to not provide me my degree certificate?

If college does not return it then you can file case u/s 406 ipc.

File FIR, if police do not accept FIR file direct complaint with the Magistrate.

Your original educational certificate are your property and college can not have any lien on it....
Record calls/meeting (audio/visual) ,keep some witnesses to generate evidence that Instt. has illegally been withholding your certificates,if you do not have any acknowledgment issued to you...
You have been advised by experts and you need to act....
