Can an employer legally withhold your original educational certificates?

No. Retaining an employee's original degrees, mark sheets, or certificates as a "bond" or guarantee against them leaving the company is entirely illegal. You have the right to file a police complaint for criminal breach of trust or pursue a civil suit to retrieve them.
