I am a software engineer in a company which is located in Hyderabad.
I've recently got an offer for another company. In the documents verification, they asked me to submit the original scanned copies. But my academic originals are in the present working company.
Actually, I had given 1 year commitment (as bond) to work in the company. Now the bond period is already completed, but they're forcing me to work another year. If not, they won't give my certificates back. I requested it many times.
As per company standards, I am ready to submit 2 months notice period, but they won't be considering.
If I proceed legally, I can get my certificates including the experience and relieving letters from that company, but will this become a problem if the new company asks my current employer for background verification?

A company demanding the originals of important documents from employees is rare, but then keeping them is highly unusual (except when they are in the business of human trafficing).

@keshlam No, it is rare in India too. That practice is illegal, but some dubious companies do it anyway because (like the OP here) employees are usually too scared to take legal action, so they know they can get away with it.

In the US we don't have the exclusive employment issue, so there is no document to hold hostage.

It seems that
But, my academic originals are in the present working company.
and
they won't give my certificates back.
is your problem.
You did not say what kind of academic originals it is. I assume it's degree diploma (certificate). I think the solution is easy. Go back to the institution where you received the academic degree/certificate from and tell them you lost your original certificate and ask them to give you an official copy. You can then present this official copy to your future employer.
