Legal Advice On Breaking A Contract - IT Firm Conditional Statement Written In Offer Letter Is Valid?

Hi
I need one legal advice on the conditional statement written in my offer letter.
Statement is : In case of relocation case (prospective employee joining from other location apart from Pune), employee will be required to serve minimum of 24 months in the organization from DOJ, failing to imply may result in gross CTC recovery equivalent to 3 months despite of serving notice period.
Now I am leaving company due to XYZ reason in 4 months and company is forcing me to pay 3 months gross salary otherwise they will take legal action on me and will not give relieving letter that was accepted by me at when joined a company.
Please advice as per indian labour law of sowtware companies - Does my company can take legal action on me if I will not pay the conditional amount(3 Months gross salary)? Or also let me know if any alternative and I can avoid to pay 3 months gross salary.
Thanks,
Tushar.

You are bound by the contract.
Breach of contract can result in legal consequences.
Probably you can negotiate with the company to pay back relocation expenses incurred by them during your transfer to Pune.

They are not ready neither for negotiation nor for increasing notice period. They strictly forcing to pay as per condition.

The company may take the legal route as it is a breach of contract.
The legal system is so slow that remedies will take long.
But one has to face consequences of one's action.
Try and mitigate the quantum of amount they are demanding.

Have you signed an offer letter or appointment letter or both?
Please take a proper legal opinion from a lawyer before proceeding.

Hello Tushar,
Pl clarify the following points.
1] Is the out-of-Pune entity/Company the SAME as that in Pune? Meaning, branch office/center OR is the transfer from one Group Company to another Group Company?
2] Is this a takeover issue/situation?
A hint to handle the 'from DOJ' point: DOJ where? At Pune OR the other entity.....its not mentioned clearly. So can be interpreted by convenience.
Rgds,
