anyways, seek some legal help regarding your passport.

and you can not get out without the exit as well...

It is Illegal to Withhold the Passport by "Any" Company, be it Private Ltd or Public Ltd....

Yes! Its the Right of the Employee to Resign Whenever He/She wants too & Employer has to accept that without creating any hassle...

Your friend is allowed to resign and the company is not permitted to hold his passport.
