Dear Sir,
I work at LTD Company. I have recently been presented with a better opportunity, so I have taken a 15-day leave with verbal approval from my Head of Department. Following this, I submitted my resignation via email to our HOD on 20.07.2009.
Subsequently, I received two written notices from HR on 27.07.2009 through postal mail. The dates on the letters were as follows:
1. 11.07.2009
2. 18.07.2009
I received these notices after my resignation had been submitted (one week later). I am concerned about the possibility of legal action being taken against me.
Please advise me on the best course of action in this situation.
Thank you.

Dear Durga,
The letter has been sent to you for what... As I understand, it may be for absenteeism. You have taken verbal approval; maybe that is the reason. I will suggest you talk to your HR team and resolve the issue. If my interpretation is wrong, please revert with the details of the letter.

Prasad, it's not the right way to put down your resignation. What was the need to take leave? No one can stop you from leaving the present concern if you wish to unless you are under any sort of agreement. However, you should complete all the assigned tasks, as that is your responsibility too. Only then will you receive your service and relieving letter. The letters that you received from your HR were about your long absenteeism.

The letters you receive might be due to the long absenteeism and it can be resolved by mutual one-to-one interaction. KB

As everyone said, it's not the right way of resigning!
And about the letter, it may be due to your long absence, and I don't think that the company will allow for such a long leave of 15 days without a proper reason. I am also confused about what leave it is, whether CL or Compensatory Off or any medical or other? I think it's an uninformed leave.
Regarding legal actions, it will depend on your organization's policies. If there is any clause in your appointment letter requiring you to inform them and serve for a particular period after resigning, and you have signed it, then you are breaking the contract, and they can take action. If you have signed a bond, then they will definitely take action.
It's better to consult with their HR team!

If you had received the letters post submitting your resignation, then the case is in your favor as long as you have the resignation mail POD from the courier company (I assume it is through courier and not email). But again, you must have a written acceptance approval from your manager in response to your mail.
All in all, it should not be a problem. Just approach your company for exit formalities.

Just refer to your appointment order. If there is a clause mentioned about the notice period required before leaving the organization, in that case, you either have to serve the notice period or settle the notice period by making payment for the unserved days. The notice period is calculated from the date of the letter you have sent. No verbal communication is useful in this matter.

So, a happy ending...
Now, reflect a bit - why did this happen? I think it's because of certain fears in our minds. Maybe you thought that you might not get the new opportunity that you eventually received. Perhaps you thought that your old company would not be pleased if you informed them in advance that you were exploring better opportunities. Finally, you managed to eliminate all fears from your mind, did what was right, and achieved positive results.
Keep fighting the fears within your mind and stay happy.
