How to retrieve my passport from a friend and settle a loan I took from him?

Hi.

One of my friends has filed a cheque bounce execution case against me for AED 63000. I paid him AED 10,000 already.

He kept my original passport and was not willing to give it back unless I pay him some more money.

Also, his lawyer calls and threatens to get detention order issued against me if I don't pay immediately. Not sure what to do. I am willing to pay.

Paid 10k also but can't pay all together as I was jobless for many months.

Dear,

You must first get a receipt document for the amount when you pay the money and the cheque and its number to be proven in the receipt.

You must also ask him for your passport as he is not entitled to seize your passport, and you can file a case against him to get the passport.

Then, you have to negotiate with the lawyer.
