The assessee has joined an office in middle east on 15 December, so he is Indian resident for the current fiscal. As global income of resident is taxable,he is liable to pay tax on salary earned in middle east. Now the problem is that his salary runs into lakhs as per INR but considering cost of living of that country he has few bucks left . so is there any relief for him.

Unfortunately no relief. Generally middle east countries does not have local taxes hence relief on tax treaty is not available too. He will have to pay taxes in India.

As per explanation (a) of Section 6(1) of the Income Tax Act, the assessee is not resident in India. You may get the benefit of the same.
