Dear Mr Janarthanan,
In general service bonds are not valid in India. Please find an attachment. However please do consult Legal Advisors - Labour Related and verify your Service Bond has got any specific clause. It is better to have clarity form experts.

Without seeing the bond it is not possible to comment.However if the bond is one sided generally it is not valid.Was there a mention in the offer of appointment that he has to subit a bond for five years.If not than it is not valid.
At the time of resignation if was accepted without mention of bond it is illegal to ask now.
Please give me brief histroy of events than only you can be advised.
