Navigating a 90-Day Notice: Can I Join a New Job Without Completing It?

Hi all, I have resigned on-site and I can't serve the full 90 days. There is a service agreement and also a deputation agreement that was signed. I have another offer which I have accepted and have to join soon. I tried to reason with the management, but they insist I serve 90 days back in India. The service agreement states a 50k fine and also arbitration for other damages. What can I do in this case?

Also, to add: Employee signs an overseas deputation agreement while traveling to the Netherlands. If the employee resigns or leaves the organization while overseas, is the overseas deputation agreement, which was signed in India, still valid? The salary is paid in the Netherlands, and it is important to note that it is under an ICT visa.
