Hello Hardik
AKTU cannot refuse or decline to give you the transfer/ migration certificate if all academic and financial dues are cleared and resignation or discontinuation is properly registered.
If they do so, then you can surely take legal action by going to court or by filing a complaint with UGC.
Hope this answer helps! Thank You!!!
