Can My Friend Be Released Early from Her Job During Probation Without Compensation?

dsan1969
Dear All, In one of my friend's appointment letters, the following clause is mentioned: "We are pleased to appoint you as Manager for a probation period of six months on the following terms and conditions: 1. Your service can be terminated in writing by giving 3 months' notice on either side."

Now, my friend has resigned from the company last week by giving an email and has provided a notice period of 3 months in that email as per her appointment letter. Her question now is, since she is still in the probation period, can the employer release her earlier without giving any monetary compensation for 3 months? Please help.

Since there is no clause for commuting the notice period during the probation period or a separate notice period for termination during probation, she has to serve the three-month notice.
