[Resolved]  School Of Distance Education, Calicut University — Unauthorised fine for delay application for TC

Address:

Malappuram, Kerala

Sir,
I am a serving soldier of Indian Air Force and presently stationed at Jorhat, a north eastern belt of Assam, situated near China border.
My wife - Pravitha P, was a student of SDE Calicut University for M Com, during the year[protected]. She could not complete the course in the year 2007, as we got married in the year 2007 and moved to Bangalore. However she appeared for the examination in the subsequent years and completed her course in the year Aug 2009 - Though the exam was Aug 2009 session,the University actually conducted the examination somewhere in Apr 2010 and the result was declared on 22 Nov 2010.

Finally when my wife completed her course after declared passed by the university, she applied for her TC to the SDE, Calicut University. Mean time we had moved to Jorhat, as I have been transferred from Bangalore.

The application for TC was forwarded to The Director, SDE along with necessary documents (Original Student I card - Enrollment No - 520245 along with a self addressed envelope affixed with stamp for Rs. 25) by Regd post (Regn No - 001788) with AD on 03 Nov 2011. Since I had not received the AD of the Regd letter, I had approached the Post Master, where I had booked the registered letter. The Post Master confirmed me that the letter had been delivered to the addressee on 04 Nov 2011.

However I did not receive any communication regarding my wife's Transfer Certificate from the SDE till the month of September 2012. Hence I made a telephone call to SDE, to found out the status of application. Then the section IC of M Com section had intimated me that the application has been kept pending since its receipt, for want of Rs. 250/- as an additional fee, as my wife's duration of study was for the year 2005 - 07 and it was now 04 years had been passed after the completion of her study. He also advised to forward a cheque for an amount of Rs 250/- immediately to get her TC.

Sir, now I would like to bring few things into your notice are :-

a) My wife had paid all the fees for her course during her studies and completed her course.

b) She was appearing for her supplementary examinations, till she got cleared her last paper. For which the result has come in the month of Nov 2010. She had applied for the TC after she got passed. Otherwise the SDE mentions in the TC as 'Failed' in the concerned column.

c) The SDE, neither in their instructions, nor in the fees table, of their hand book had mentioned about the time period, within which a candidate should apply for the Transfer Certificate, failing which a fine is to be levied.

As the TC was required for joining for further studies at Assam, my wife had missed out entire one year due to the non issue of TC by the SDE, University of Calicut.

Also it is not possible now to join for any course as I am expecting my transfer from the present place, where I am completed 3 years .

In view of the above, it is requested to take up the matter with the Director, SDE, Calicut University, for issue of the TC at the earliest and also a compensation, for the disruption of my wife's further study due to delay of issuing TC.
