Hello! Everyone needs your advice and help. I am an engineer. After passing my engineering, I joined a company that was in its starting stage. They committed that they were going to do work in my core area. After that, they asked me to sign a 2-year bond with them. A few days later, they asked me to submit all my academic certificates for verification. When I asked for my certificates back, they said it was included in the bond. I then asked them to provide me with an acknowledgment that they have my original academic certificates. They provided this within 3 months.
I found that the work was not related to my job profile. When I discussed this with them, they only tolerated it each time. In the end, I gave my resignation. Now it's almost 1.5 years. I have sent them a lot of emails and letters to ask for my academic documents back, but they haven't returned them. How can I get my documents back? Is there any provision in Indian labor law for this issue? Is it permissible and legal to hold someone's original academic documents? Please help me.
