I am Adv. George Marks from TLRF. This audio is to create an Awareness. Adi tamilar union has registered a legal issue in NK radio. TLRF has dealt with that case and won it. This audio is to create an awareness on that. Including many Engineering colleges students are joined in that name of free education. For such students under the scheme of Free higher education Govt is paying the fees to colleges. Not only that scholarship for SC ST BC students comes under this. No one is giving free education. While joining such colleges, original documents of students are taken from them. It is natural to collect documents like 10th, 12th marks sheet, TC, Caste certificate. For any reason if the student is not able to continue the education, the certificates are not given back to the student. If the student or the parents ask for the documents the college management will threaten them to pay full fees for the duration they have completed. Such one complaint came us through Madurai Adi tamilar union. When we investigated about this, 2 girls were joined to a college for 2 years course and their documents were collected. After 1 year due to family situation they were not able to continue their education. For this the college asked to pay 2years course fees and they made us run behind it for 2 years. When the issue came to us immediately we took the case to Madurai free legal aid and the case was investigated. Judge of legal aid said that collecting the original documents is wrong and passed order to surrender the original document. The very next day the documents were given by College principal. Colleges collecting such documents is illegal. Also collecting original documents in work place is also wrong. So if you have any such issue you can file a petition to that college and give another copy to concerned police station or education officer. Immediately your documents will be released.
