A.Dear Client,
No employer can withhold relieving letter of an employee outrightly on cessation of employment either by resignation or by termination and such an act on the part of the employer amounted to unfair labour practice. So in the prevailing situation if you are not holding the position of Manager/Supervisor but a workman as defined u/s.2(s) of the Industrial Dispute Act then for such an arbitrary and unfair labour practice, reach out to the office of the Labour Commissioner concerned for filing a complaint over alleged unfair labour practice against the employer for redressal of your grievance. Otherwise, you have to file a civil suit before the Civil Court for appropriate relief in the matter as suggested by an Advocate.

A.Dear client,
Serve a legal notice to the employer demanding that he issue your relieving letter immediately, failing which you are at liberty to issue appropriate legal action. Sending the legal notice should resolve the issue.
