I have 3 months notice period and i serve one month, rest I want to buyout the notice period.I am ready to pay for remaining notice period as per my offer letter.

above statement says that you may be terminated upon giving three months notice or on the discretion of the company. notice and discretion cannot run concurrently. you can give up this job after giving notice, completion of three months is not necessary because there must be balance between both parties. if one party has discretion so other party has also such discretion. if you giving it up maximum penalty is to recover salary of three months.

3.In any event you can not mak a breach of this agreement at your sweet will and if you do then you may be asked to pay dmages in the event the company files any damage suit.
The conditions of employment are very clear.
You should not resort to oral requests or email requests for resignation and release from employment.
You should write to the management about your decision to quit the job and would like to buy the notice period by paying the amount specified for the purpose.
If the management is not responding to your request then you can resort to legal course of action by first intimating the decision and demanding your dues including the relieving letter by sending a legal notice through your lawyer,.
After that also if there is no response or relief you may proceed with legal case as per law.
