Don't worry.  Nothing will happen to you. 

If any product of the company like laptop, papers or other gadgets are with you immediately return these with a written receipt or proof  

Then send them a formal email stating your resignation from the company with immediate effect. 

On the basis of this agreement nothing will happen to you. 

So rest assured on this account. 

Next time join in such company where you need not quit it out of frustration.

- As per Specific Relief Act, if any employee quits before the notice period, the Employer can only recover the Notice pay, and the Company cannot force to serve the entire notice period.

- Further, the resignation decision is the employee’s decision, and the employer cannot sue for breach of contract, if the employee leaves without serving contractual notice. 

- Except, recovery of the said amount, company cannot harm you for the same

- Further, no employer can refused to return the original certificates or to issue relieving letter .If they are doing so, their act is illegal, unjustified and against the fundamental rights of the employee.

- Further, the employment bond with the negative covenant is valid and legally enforceable, if the parties agree with their free consent i.e. without force, coercion, undue influence, misrepresentation and mistake, but it is not enforceable, if it is either one sided, unconscionable or unreasonable.

- Further, section 27 of the Indian Contract Act prohibits any agreement in restraint of trade and profession.

- Hence, if you dont want to serve the notice period , the pay the notice period as mentioned in the offer letter or appointment letter.

Leaving the company without intimating them about the the intention to resign the job or tendering a letter of resignation amounts to absconding.

Since you have received notice, you may issue a reply notice either by yourself or through your lawyer with the reasons you may rely upon for leaving the company without informing them.

If you do not give any reply then you will be subjected to legal action as per company rules.

What is the purpose of furnishing the company clauses that were given to you long with the employment offer letter.

You have committed an offence  by absconding while you left the company without intimating them.

Now since you have received a legal notice you may have to issue a reply notice otherwise it will be construed that you have accepted their allegations leveled by them against you.

You have unnecessarily furnished the company rules that were supplied to you along with the employment offer letter.

Even now you don't appear to be serious about the blunder you have done by leaving the company without informing them, or tendering  formal resignation letter.

You will be termed as an absconder.

If you do not take any rectification action now then you will be liable for the legal consequences for the action taken by the company in this regard.
