Employee's right to seek cancellation after leaving the company

Dear Salah,

I was a partner in one company in which I sold my shares and left the MoA/company on 4th Jan'18.

One of the employees whom I recruited wants to leave the company now and the present owner is not cancelling him. The employee joined the company on 1st Oct'17.

But his resident visa was not stamped. Till today his resident visa has not been stamped. This employee desperately wants to leave the company. What can the employee do?

He did visit the labour court but his case was closed as the present partner promised to pay all his dues and cancel his visa in front of the labour officer.

Should the employee re-open the case? Will it have any implications for me?

What best course you advise for the employee now as he desperately wants to go home, but he wants to come back to the UAE with some other company?
