Dear Sir,
I have applied for doing Ph.D. from CMJ University , Through ACE (Academy Of Correspondence Education, 23 Broadway Annex Mall, W E Highway Express, Borivali (E), Mumbai - 66. In 2013 February, I had paid the above academy Rs. 127000/- in two installment with cheque of Dena Bank. But as the university faced a fraud case, I asked Mr. Rajesh R (Director of ACE) to refund the money. After few months he issued two cheques to me amounting Rs. 100000/- and another one Rs. 27000/-. Both the cheque bounced due to lack of fund. All documents are with me. Then he refund me once Rs. 7000/- and once Rs. 10000/-. Afterwards he has stopped all phones, e-mail ID, as well as his web site of the organization. He has mailed me with promise, and also sms me with promise. But since 2016, I am not able to catch him. Tried to make complaint in Borivali Police stasion in May 2014, but they not taken any FIR. What to do regarding the same.

A.You should know Indian Ph.D. is not conferred by Correspondence. You should act quickly,If the Police Station refuses to file FIR you should approach the designated superior and you denied you can approach the court for directing the police to lodge complaint.Better to consult a senior Lawyer from Vidhikarya panel quickly to protect your interest.
