The company does not have any right to retain your certificates nor does it have any right to claim the bond amount from you if you have acted as per their joining terms (terms have to be seen) and served the notice period. You should reply to the legal notice demanding back your certificates and calling them to drop the demand failing which you shall initiate criminal action u/s 406 of Indian Penal Code against them. If they do not return the certificates then report the matter to the police.
