First let him issue a legal notice to the company demanding the dues to him, after that he can file a money recovery suit if that is the only relief he expects from his former employer.

A case for unpaid wages can be filed with the Labour Commissioner or the Labour Court under the Industrial Disputes Act, the Authority under the Payment of Wages Act, or the Civil Court.
