Dear Dayakar,
Now adays its become a fashion to breech the bond for all the associates, I have heard the same query from every HR I came across, actually I wonder the companies recruitng them with out proper relieving formalities.
because with that point it really proves the persons stability & other loyalty principles.
If you have taken the bond with his signature on the same,& the other supporting documents regarding his stay in the company, you have a chance to send a legal notice to him, it is a damm big procedure but at least from your side you are sending a mesage which will stop the other employees form not taking this as an advantage.
let us hope to hear more from our HR guru's.

Hi Dayakar,
If your bond has followed the principles of equal justice, then you would be able to take legal action. If not, don't try taking legal action because you may not win the case.
Also, you have not mentioned whether you have followed the abandonment process for this employee and have terminated his employment.
Have you tried to find out from his colleagues as to why he abandoned service? Are there any others like him?
