I’m 25 years old and my parents are holding onto all my important documents like my 10th, 12th, and college mark sheets, birth certificate, passport, and voter ID. They won’t give them back, even copies! Is there a way I can get these documents back?

Under Indian law, you have the right to possess your own documents, even if you’re 25. Your parents cannot legally withhold them. You can approach a local court and file a petition to obtain possession of your documents.
