Suing a University

No one can foretell success in litigation.

But you have a deserving case and your fight may bring in relief to several hundreds of others that may face similar problems in future.

If you have paid a consideration for the services, if there is a time frame fixed and atleast threre was inordinate delay, you can file a consumer complaint in District consumer forum.

The total costs including stationery/fees may not exceed Rs.500/- if you make a complaint as a party in person.  There are no usual formalities like in court.   Mere issuing of a notice, establishing payment of consideration as fees, establishing deficiency of services, suffering of loss are enough.

Most of the citizens do not fight for themselves but to bring some change in mindset of authorities and to avoid such delays in future to some other students and to reduce such suffering / turmoil undergone already undergone by them should not be experienced by some others .

Decision is left to you on availability of such time.  Just read Consumer Protection Act in google and down load a format of complaint.
