[Resolved]  Pon Vidyashram School, Porur, Chennai — Non refund of admission fees post cancellation of the seat

Address:

Chennai, Tamil Nadu

Re: Cancellation of admission for J Shriya, in Standard I, for 2010. (Regn No: 12525)

I had taken an admission for my daughter Jonnalagadda Shriya for Standard I, in January 2010, in your esteemed institution. In lieu of that I have already paid the entire fees of Rs. 43,410/-, on 12-Jan-2010, vide HSBC cheque no. 002258 .

At the time of admission, I had just moved to Chennai on a transfer from Visakhapatnam, and the plan was to relocate my family to Chennai. However, over the past few months due to some unforeseen developments, I was not in a position to bring my family and daughter to Chennai. Hence I requested them to cancel the admission and refund the money paid.

The school refused to entertain my request. I complained about this to the Ministry of Education, Dr. Purandeshwari's office. An IAS officer Mr. Kamal Vardhan called me up after receiving the complaint and informed me that he had spoken to the school authorities and the issue would be resolved. After that I called the school authorities multiple times, and despite that they have not refunded my money.

THis is a blatant violation of the consumer laws of the country, by a School that is rated as one of the best in the country. They seem to have no regard to Ministry of Education even.

WOuld request some good soul to take up this case and deliver justice to me. From April 2010, I am literally running from pillar to post to get some justice on this case.
