Pvt schools in u.p. charging fee on quarterly basis

My ward studies at a CBSE affiliated pvt school run by an education foundation. The school charges fee on quarterly basis in advance at the start of the quarter and charges late fee @ rs.10 per day after 10th day of 1st month of quarter.

As per Delhi High Court order dated 10th April 2013,
"parents cannot be forced to deposit the school fees on a quarterly, half-yearly or yearly basis."

My query is

1. " Can this Delhi HC judgement be enforced on schools operating in Ghaziabad, U.P.???"

2. If not, what is the way out for parents seeking relief on the same grounds as petitioners of similar case filed at Delhi HC on which the above judgement is passed???

Fake certificate

Sir,
My ward is pursuing MD (PG in medicine) course 4m a govt institute since last year. Alongside he was preparing for other competitive exam. On advice of seniors, he submitted fake medical certificate for seeking 6-month study leave from his institute. Now, his institute has verified and found the said certificate to be fake.

Please note that though my ward took admission in the said institute, he’s neither worked for a single day, nor drawn any salary from there. My ward is ready to resign but his institute insists that it will seek advice from DGHS/Min of Health & Family welfare before accepting his resignation. Request your advice on:

1.What is maximum action that his institute can take against him?
2.What can he do to get his resignation accepted and get his original certificates released from there?

We understand that he’s done a very wrongful act which was totally avoidable. But his entire career is at stake. Please help us in getting out of this problem. Please save career of an otherwise very bright student.

Just b4 mrg, our relationship started deteriorating sharply with my 2-b-wife compelling me 4 immediate marriage OR threat of walk-out otherwise. I & my family gave in and we got married abt 1.5yrs bak.

I stayed in boys hostel at my college and she at girls hostel in same college until june this yr. she wud stay 2-3 days at my hostel every week. In june we shifted to delhi.

Over last 1.5 years our relationship has been mostly turbulent. she demoralises me continuosly---my achievement, family, friends, everything. She demeans everything which i do 4 her out of my sense of luv/responsibilty..her mothe constantly coaches her over phone..she has not the slightest emotional concern for me/my family/anything related to me.

she wants me to break my all relationship with my family/friend etc.

In delhi, initialy she shifted (we arranged it 4 her)to a girls hostel near her coaching classes to save time. I stayed at my elder brother's house(my father lives with him), who is unmarried and very close to me. she wud come 2-3 days at this house. About 1 month bak I shifted to boys hostel of my hospital.

Since then, my wife started insisting dat either i take her 2 my hostel(which i can't) OR else she wud go 2 her parents house in BIhar. I resisted and asked her to stay at her hostel until her exams in Nov/Dec. Abt, 1 week bak, she had a night-out with her cousin (i don't kno her nae, never met her)widout informing me. Yesterday she shifted out to some other place without informing me.

I must add, she has never ever cared 4 me, never ever made a cup of tea 4 me.

Over last few months, there's inreasing no of times she's insulting, defying me and when i confront, she wud start senseless arguements. she won't listen. now she says she won't tell me her address and wud never come home or go 2 my home town. She says she can meet outside if i want 2 discuss.

In a way, she has given me ultimatum 2 choose either her OR my family

1.I don't kno, where is our relationship headed
2. I am afraid, she can put us in dowry related cases.
3. I there any chance of saving dis mariage
4. wat sud i do save dis mariage

Fee/orignal dox not refunded by pvt university

Dear Sir,
My ward took admission in B.Tech in a pvt univ. (estb. by act of Govt of Rajasthan, approved by UGC and courses accredited by aicte)in last week of Aug 2011. Within a fortnight he decided to withdraw from the course and on 13/9/11 he formally applied for admission cancellation. Despite our repeated requests, the univ. didn't clarify it's fee refund policy (UGC norms require them to disclose fee refund policy before admission itself).

After much follow-up the univ. refunded us 50% of tuition fee and deducted about 9000/- from hostel fee for One month stay of my ward in hostel (Annual hostel fee is Rs.50000/-)

The Univ. returned original marksheet of Xth & XIIth of my ward but said that migration/transfer/character certificate will not be returned, instead they will issue fresh migration certificate on payment of Rs.5000/-

My queries to you are:
1. Can such univ. legally refuse to share their fee refund policy with the student/guardian?
2. Is there any UGC norm/rule regulating these pvt universities on amount of fee chargeable for transfer certificate etc?
3. Can these univ. charge this kind of exorbitant fee for transfer certificate?
4. Is RTI Act applicable to such pvt. university?
5. Can any such univ. use such internal rule/regulation for exploiting students?

Our last communication with the registrar of univ. detailing everything is attached herewith. To this he has replied that, he has already verbally stated his univ. stand on the issues and will not entertain any further communication.

Request you to kindly advise, what are the options before us to seek justice in face of such rampant/exploitative approach of this university.

Sir, we are middle class people and need your able guidance to steer through this situation.
