Quick Summary: The Madras High Court has told Chettinad Academy to follow the fee plan set by the Fee Fixation Committee and to give students back their certificates.
Nivin Ram Prasath took his complaint to the Madras High Court. He was upset about extra fees being charged by Chettinad Academy of Research and Education. He wanted the court to make sure the school followed the official fee plan and returned his certificates.
Judge G.K. Ilanthiraiyan listened to the case. He told the State of Tamil Nadu, the University Grants Commission (UGC), and the National Medical Council to make sure the fee plan set by the Fee Fixation Committee is followed. Chettinad Academy was told not to charge any extra fees.
"The State of Tamil Nadu, UGC, and NMC are directed to implement the fees structure prescribed by the Fee Fixation Committee."
This decision is a relief for students. It means colleges must stick to the approved fees. Also, students should get their certificates back without paying extra charges.
The Fee Fixation Committee decides how much colleges can charge students. The court emphasized that colleges must show this fee plan in their yearly brochures.
With these directions, the court closed the case. No costs were charged to either party. This decision ensures that students are not surprised by extra fees and can continue their education without problems.
