A father from Secunderabad ended up fighting a school for seven years just to get back money for classes his daughter never attended. He had paid Rs 21,000 towards her admission at Akshara International School in LB Nagar, Hyderabad, after being offered a fee discount if he paid before a set date in February 2019.
Within a week, his plans changed. He decided not to shift his family's residence to Hyderabad after all, and asked the school to cancel the admission and return the fee. The school refused, saying the amount was non refundable once paid, and the case dragged all the way to a consumer commission, which has now ruled firmly in the father's favour.
