A.Education certificate are your property. Your employer has no right to retain your certificates under his custody. Serve a legal notice through an advocate. If they don't, lodge a complaint against the employer and the company for breach of trust.

A.There is no prescribed law on this which enables the company to take and keep the original document unless it is agreed in contract especially the employment agreement. You send them a legal notice for this and even after that id they are not releasing then file an FIR with Police.
