Signing an offer letter is not an offence.You have no case against him unless you prove that because of his refusal to join, you have suffered.

If you can prove that you have suffered for his not joining then file suit for recovery of compensation/damages.

He has not yet become your employee. You would have spent lots of money for hiring him. There is a breach of contract from his side. However you can not expect an unwilling employee to work for you sincerely. If you are serious file suit for recovery.

Signing an offer letter and submitting all the documents binds him to a contract and there is a definite breach of contract. If you want to you can initiate a civil suit against him.
