Cbse college witholding my niece's clc and iriginal 12th. Certificate due to some arrear fees

As per multiple High Court and Supreme Court rulings, educational institutions cannot withhold original certificates or mark sheets due to non-payment of fees. Doing so is considered illegal, arbitrary, and against the right to education under Article 21 of the Constitution of India.

college cannot keep it like that, you can give a representation to the college for returning the Documents and thereafter file a Writ Petition. 

Dear client,

Your niece has the legal right to get back her original certificates like the 10th and 12th marksheets and CLC because educational institutions are not allowed to keep a student's original documents for non-payment of fees. The University Grants Commission and CBSE both have clearly said that no school or college can hold certificates as collateral. She or her guardian can first send a written request to the principal or management asking for the return of documents. If they still refuse, you can file a complaint before the District Education Officer, the CBSE Regional Office, or the State Education Department. She can also file a writ petition in the High Court under Article 226 of the Constitution, asking the court to direct the college to return her documents. Courts have earlier ruled in favor of students in similar situations. This legal step may help her get her certificates back and continue her education.

 

I hope this answer helps, in case of future queries, please dont hesitate to contact us.
