School holding my certificates and not returning even after i left school 2 years ago

Dated : 29th, June 2026 Dear Sir, I really need some help/guidance on how to proceed with this issue. I am from Hyderabad. I joined in one of the Cambridge school in hyderabad as a ICT Teacher. While joining i have submitted two of my original certificates (10th and Post Grad Degree) as they said it's just a formality. Due to high pressure and students abnormal behaviour (which i never seen or heard in any school before) i left the school within 2 months of joining there. I escalated the issue of the students as there was so much humiliation, there was no help/support from anyone. So l left one day and I have submitted my resignation also through email. Well, as i expected they refused to accept the resignation and also not ready to return my certificates too. I didn't react or fought against that during that time. After a year i sent an email and requested them to return my originals as I already suffered enough for the last one year cos I couldn't get any job elsewhere due to my certificates. Management replied with no big solution. I almost gave up at some point of time. However i was still finding ways to get them back. But i don't know where to start and end. I don't have job or money to proceed anything legally. I need your expert advice on whether I will get justice in my case. I have the offer letter, id card and the acknowledgement for the certificates. Waiting for your replies. Thanks all

The action of the School authorities is not lawful. You serve a legal notice through an advocate and also has the option to approach the Adalats functioning under the Legal Service Authority/Committee.

you need to seek following legal remedies:-
1. send a legal notice
2. file a civil suit - Mandatory Injunction directing school authorities to return the certificates.
3. you can also approach state education department or the authority where the school is affiliated and can file a application there also.
4. yes you can claim compensation from the school
If you cannot approach a lawyer you can approach District legal services authority (DLSA) for free legal services.

You can issue a legal notice demanding return of your original certificates stipulating time limit failing which you can either lodge a criminal complaint with the police or file a suit for mandatory injunction to direct the school authorities to return the same along with costs for the mental agony you suffered so far as compensation.
