Your friend should immediately contact his Embassy and tell them the problem. The passport is the property of the issuing country and it is illegal for a person or company to keep the passport from the person in whose name the passport has been issued.

Thanks, for the reply,

But what we fail to understand is this law also must be known by the employer and in-spite of this he is holding the passport. This cannot happen unless he has some strong backup from the country, could it happen that my friend being victimized/framed and loose his entire career going against the employer.
