The Brief facts of the case are that; The OP is

its Principal. In the academic year 2010-11, Complainant
has joined Auxillery Nursing and Midwifery course (in
short ANM course) and passed out successfully in the
month of November 2011 securing 79.7o/o. She has paid
prescribed fees of Rs.1,10,000/- to the institution, but
the institution was not in the habit of issuing receipt or
acknowledgment. After passing the course, Complainant
has requested to issue marks cards, but OP persistently

##PAGE4##4 sc/ cBU 29 / RBT /A/298 & 309/20 18
insisted to pay the fee. In the year 2011, there was a job
opportunities. Since, Op has not issued the marks cards,
she could not apply for the job. Had she apptied, she
would have get the job in hospitals and get monthly
salary of Rs.15,000/- to Rs.20,000/_. She has suffered
loss of income on account of withholding of her
marks
cards, thereby she is entitle to claim compensation from
oP.

complaint. She has no locus standi to file
complaint.
Complainant was allowed to stay in the
Op,s hostel
during her course. When she was asked to pay the fees,
to avoid the same she has filed the complaint. There is
no deficiency in service and sought for dismissal of the
complaint.
