The original documents that are taken by the Government at the time of initial appointment, are returned after verification. So, if you request the Government, such original documents would be returned to you.
The only exception perhaps can be where the Government suspects that these original documents are forged or fake documents, in which case the original documents may be required for the purpose of further investigation and necessary action as per law. In fact, you have mentioned that you have been dismissed from the service, but you have not clarified on what grounds you were dismissed from service by the Government. Was this dismissal on account of any forged documents submitted by you? If yes, then such original documents may not perhaps be returned to you since they may be needed for further investigation.
If this is not the case, then generally speaking, the Government would return your original documents on your request, if it has not done so already.
