I worked for a pharmaceutical company with the 2 years of bond but due to personal reasons i quit the job before two months of bond completion and employer filed a suit against me amount of 1 LKS this suit has been dismissed by the senior civil court?
My original all educational documents with the Employer now they are asking one lakh money to return the documents
During the working period i applied for passport they not allow for the verification..
what i have to do further to recover my certificates?
Some companies ask for original certificates and keep as security so that the employee may not abscond, though they can keep certificates untill their verification and should return back. But if with the employee agrees at the time of employment that the original certificates will be in the custody of employer he can get them back at the termination of services .
If the employee does not objects the retention of certificates during its employment it may amount to agreement. During the employment if the employee asks for certificates and the eployer does not return that would amount to seizure for which an employee can file complaint.
In C.Shanthi V/S Vel Tech High Tech. Engineering college The Madras high court gave ruling in the matter ,where employee was asked to submit resignation and demanded damages against her certificates .The Court directed the employer to return the certificates and not ask for any damages.
You had a good chance to get the employer directed by the court to release the certificates during the litigation.
Now you should submit a written communication to your comnpany and demand your certificates back if they failed to release them then yopu can opt for legal action
