Dear learned counsels
I want your guidance with citations for the above subject.
A college was started in 2005-06 in karnataka with a brochure issued and ads in leading news papers that the college has been affiliated and course recognised by the DTE and aicte.
but, after joining to the course, we found that the course is not a affiliated and recognised one.the college principal verbally told that they would take care.but,after the first semister exams, the results of Government college were announced and the results of this unrecognised college witheld.hence, we went to the high court of karnataka seeking orders to permit us for II semister exams and declare our results.But, the court immediatly declared an interim order by which the students were permitted for II semister exams.later,the court case continued and the orders of judgements were passed to declare the results and issue necessary certificates to students.
But, the orders were not followed by the college and again notices were issued to them and then only the certificates were issued.
Later, the students raised the issue in consumer forum and the case was dismissed in forum noting that the complainants have failed to prove deficiency of services from college.
My quiries are:
1.Is there any provision for appeal against the district forum judgement.
2. Are there any previous examples of unfair tradepractices being followed by colleges and the cases filed and judgement passed.
3.Can anyone kindly help us with the respective laws and clauses which are to be pointed out if there is any provision of appeal further.
Kindly reply at the earliest
Thanks and regards
Rashmi

It is a case of deficiency in service as the college has misrepresented- you can file appeal against the order of district forum.
Further such act of college is cheating and you can also file a criminal case.
However, in such cases- a student aim is not to punish the college but copletion of the course. From the petitions etc. it appears that the college is pursuing the matter in courts to get your examination/certificate etc. Assist your college in such endeavour and your course will be completed, as courts do not do anything which jeopardises career of students.

dear counsel
thanks for the advice.but, i want to clarify you that thedistrict forum has only considered the papers given by the opposite party for judgement and has not at all considered complainants papers alonmg with high court order copy.
Do you have any suggestyions to us in this regard
