Advice needed
One of my friend took his driving licence on his own. before 2 years he has come to Qatar on visit visa and found a job here. now he is ready to exit Qatar. his company has requested him to return the driving licence along with his ID/medical cards/etc. is it required to handover the driving licence? any idea? thanks.

Thank u all, friends, for valued comments. finally, the decision should be not to handover the licence as it's his private property. As Suhail mentioned '...if he moves to another GCC country. Just trying to make life hard for him.'Exactly what i meant is the same..
thanks again!

company doesnt have rights to take back...even company paid for that expenses..
Speak to or drop an email to the GM of your company on the matter, perhaps the the HR buggers want to see you harassed, simply. Such conditions can never be there on legal grounds in a company's policies.
Everyday I hear a new story about yet another ridiculous request by an employer. When will they understand that working for them doesn't mean that they own you or your life.
It is no one's right to take anyone's Driving license, except for the Traffic Department.
They are doing this, just to make sure that he can not exchange it for another license, if he moves to another GCC country. Just trying to make life hard for him.
D/L is someone's personal property irrespective of who paid the cost to obtain it. Employer has no right to ask its surrender when the employee leaving the country.
Ruled by the labour Dept in one of the cases involving a driver I know
NO need of give Back the License
It's his personal property ESPECIALLY since he did it on his own.
He shouldn't give his license.. it is his property and companies don't have the right to do it. If they insist t handover, then ask them to give in writing that they received your license.
The company has no right to take your license.
company has no right to ask for the license. But crazy management... what to do.. Just keep a copy & through the orginal on their face
Just say he lost the Licence...
Dont worry if u return it also ......... coz when u come back to qatar on a new visa u can get a letter of the employer n take a duplicate one which will only cost you 250 Qr.
If possible take a copy of the license.
