What are student rights if college delays issuing NOC?

What are the rights of a student and the official regulations regarding the issuance of a No Objection Certificate (NOC) from a parent college when a student wishes to continue education in another mode or university? If a college delays issuing the NOC, what legal or administrative steps can a student take? Can a college legally delay or deny an NOC for reasons such as: • “It will take 15 days,” • “We need to verify your documents on the server,” • “We cannot issue it now; come later,” • “Pay the fee now, but collect the NOC later,” or similar reasons? Are such reasons valid under university norms? What are the legal grounds on which a college can refuse or delay issuing an NOC? Once a student submits an NOC request and obtains an inward acknowledgment copy, what is the next legal step if the college still does not issue it or fails to provide written reasons? Are there any UGC, university, or legal rules that protect students from such delays or excuses?
