I was working in Kerala, and during that time, I submitted my documents. Currently, I am not working and have been relocated to Saudi Arabia for a better opportunity. I have emailed my previous company for the documents, but there has been no response. Please advise on how to proceed with this matter.

You mentioned you submitted your MBA certificate. Without the certificate, how could you visit Jeddah (as the credentials need to be attested and carried by you) on an Employment Visa?

Haridas, if there is no response from the employer side, just send a complaint to the Asst. Labour Officer of the area. He will take care of it.

Withholding of Personal Documents
The original certificate is personal property. Withholding the certificate amounts to a criminal offense. You may seek the intervention of the police when you are back in the country.
In the meanwhile, you may serve a legal notice highlighting the impropriety of withholding the document.

Steps to Retrieve Your Documents
Send a normal mail asking for the documents to be returned. Then, send a legal notice through a lawyer.
Legal Action if No Response
If there is no response, ask your lawyer to file an FIR and follow it up with a criminal case against the company, promoters, board of directors, and KMP (key managerial personnel). Ensure your lawyer gets approval for your absence during the hearing of the case.
I hope you are aware of the cost involved in pursuing these actions.
