Passport retrieval and resolution of employment dispute
Dear Sir/Madam,
Subject: Seeking Legal Assistance for Passport Retrieval and Resolution of Employment Dispute
I am writing to seek your urgent assistance regarding an ongoing issue with my employer, pertaining to the release of my passport.
Despite multiple attempts to communicate and retrieve my passport through email correspondence, my employer has not complied with my request, and my passport is still in their possession.
This situation has persisted, even though legal proceedings are underway, and the final judgment is scheduled to be delivered on 15/02/2024.
I am deeply concerned about the implications of this delay on my personal and professional life. The retention of my passport not only hinders my ability to carry out routine activities but also raises questions about compliance with legal obligations.
I would appreciate your counsel on the legal recourse available if my employer remains unwilling to pay the owed amount even after the final judgment.
Thank you for your assistance!

Dear Questioner,
As per UAE Law, it is illegal to hold the employee's passport by an employer.
During the procedures itself, you can file a request with the Court or MOHRE for the release of the passport.
After judgment, you need to execute the same.
