1.Do not get scared.The Principal out of losing the reputation and insecurity is behaving in this weird manner.

2.Now send her a written notice asking for LC for your child.

3.if this does not work then file a writ petition in high court.

4.on the direction of court your child would be given LC.

5.If your are permanent employee of the college then your job is secured. Any action even if taken would be treated as vindictive and is likely to be set aside by court.

Immediately issue a legal notice to her through counsel counselors if she is not ready to provide LC within notice period then you may file a civil suit against her before the civil court or complaint against her before the education department or you may directly contact with the trusty or management.

It is clearly violation of fundamental right provided by the constitution of India.

Hi

Practically you being a parent should address a letter to the school principal demanding TC.A written record is needed , keep the copy of it for your legal purpose

If she refuse or if you have already done it, next step is to reach out to the trustees.

This either you can approach them directly if you have access to them

Orselse

take a legal step sending a legal notice to the school demandingTC and mention about their threat of being intimidated by the school interms of marks and writing a bad conduct certificate

Once this comes on record through a lawyer's notice the principal will stop the harassment

You should ofcourse take care of your job depending on the situation as the personal relationship with the management may affect your work in future

Hello,

1) The Principal has no reason and right to deny the LC if you request for it. At the most the school can withhold refunding of fee already paid.

2) Write a detailed letter to the Principal requesting the LC by stating the reasons. If she refuses to acknowledge, write an email and keep the management in cc.

3) Be not afraid of the school to take a stand for your daughter's future. Tell the Principal in the first place that you will be compelled to take legal steps if need be. If necessitated you can issue a legal notice to the Principal for refusal to issue TC and threatening to enter negative remarks.

If you have paid the school fee of the current academic year of the school then the school authorities are bound to give her LC. You may file a suit for mandatory injunction against he school if it does not give her the certificate.

The oral threats are not to be taken into consideration.

You apply in writing giving reasons to get your daughter transferred to some other school.

If the management is still stubborn on the said decision, you may issue a legal notice to the college authorities and seek relief as desired.

Then initiate legal process to get your daughter transferred to the college of her choice.
