In Brief
A medical student sought directions to compel an educational institution to release his original educational certificates that had been retained at the time of admission. The student had been subsequently selected for a course at another institute. The Supreme Court held that while the institution must release the documents, the student must first complete all regulatory formalities and pay any outstanding dues as per the institution's regulations. The Court directed the institution to immediately release the documents upon completion of these requirements, thereby balancing institutional procedures with the student's rights.
