Answer 3

First thing you must note that Indian Passport is the property of government of India & any theft, loss or misplacement should be informed to the passport authorities in India & with the Indian consulate in any foreign country. Now if this company has got your son's passport & they are not returning it, then make a formal criminal complaint/FIR against the company with the local police & the Regional Passport office from where this passport was issued & attach the copy of this FIR with it. It will be the responsibility of these government authorities both local police & regional passport authorities to further proceed against this company for the recovery of this passport. As far the terms & conditions of employment are concerned, it is upto this company to proceed against your son for not fulfilling those terms & conditions through proper legal proceedings by claiming damages etc but in no case they can withhold his passport which actually is the property of the government of India in this case issued to your son for his traveling purpose to any foreign country with their due permission.

Answer 4

Write letter and send it by post to employer and to RPO.

Answer 5

Your son left for Dubai on an work assignment through some  company in India.  Now he has come back to India.Is it right ?

Dubai (UAE) employers usually keep the passports of their employees with them.  An identity card is issued..

If your son has returned to India, he should have been travelling with his passport.  Then why should he hand over the passport to the company in India.  He does not need to.

No body has any right to cancel a visa or a passport

other than those who had issued the visa and/or  the passport.

A visa can be cancelled or withdrawn

.Passport is being issued by Govt of India.

No body has any right to withhold it . It must be returned

to the party concerned.

You can lodge a complaint with the police

or send a lawyer's notice to the company concerned

informing them that you would go legally for damages...
