Dear just talk to HR or senior management guys in company, try to convince them you are not able to pay the money.
Tell me bond was on stamp paper or on normal A4 paper? Did you get any appointment letter from the company if yes what are the condition probation period?
For further clarification contact on mentioned below number.

No sir.They dont give any apppointment order to me.i signed in a A4 sheet for 2 yrs Bond.
& there is no HR in that institute.the person who is acting (working) as a HR is behaving rude & he is not ready to listen me.

Dear, do not worry contact with Owner talk to him/her, if they did not listen you just tell them, now you are approaching police and labour officer.
Explain all the situation to Labour Officer & Police.

Sir,
i m afraid to go to police station.the law will support me or them ???(They are big personalities)

Dear, First you need to meet with owner once he/she is convince with you no one hold you certificates.
First Approach Labour Office definitely they will help you. But anyhow this matter is related with police you have approach finally them. Do not scare with anyone be strong & bold.
Thanks

Dear Madhumathi,
Employment bond is illegal in India and no employer can forcefully employee anyone as this is a violation of fundamental right. But employment term is governed by the employment contract duly signed by employer and employee and it should be based on natural justice.
Employer has no right to hold certificate of employees except for verification. You need to communicate with employer for your certificate in written by speed post with AD or by email. At first you need to be polite and if nothing happens kindly repeat the process with strong words. If still you don't receive you may seek help of your District Labour Officer and may use social media as a tool.
With the interference of DLO, I believe you will get back your certificate and keep us updated.

Dear seniors, some of my friends telling me that,they can sue me back for not serving the notice period.is that true?

If you are scared of going to the police, then contact a lawyer and file a private complaint against the institute In the court.
