Fatima, a student took admission in the 'ABC College', of a Government approved Private University. But, later on Fatima joined another college of Government University. She claimed refund of admission fee from ABC College. The college refused to refund admission fee on the ground that there is no rule in Private University to refund the admission fee. She filed a petition before District Consumer Disputes Redressal Forum. Will she succeed ? Discuss with reference to a decided case in this matter.
Answer & Explanation:
The present problem is similar to the case of Isabella Thoburn College v. Ms. Fatima Effendi [2001 CTJ 386 (CP) (SCDRC)] . In this case the State Commission held that non-refund of admission fee is not a deficiency of service on the part of the university because admission fee is the consideration for admission and respondent herself voluntarily withdrawing admission from one university to join another institute cannot claim refund of admission fee. In view of the above judgment passed by the State Commission in the case of Isabella Thoburn College v. Ms. Fatima Effendi [2001 CTJ 386 (CP) (SCDRC)] , it is clear that Fatima will not succeed.
