I have been working with a reputed organization A for one year and have tendered my resignation on a good note. My reason for resigning was not for monetary benefit but due to an undisclosed issue. The senior-most managers at my company tried to convince me not to leave and asked for the reason behind my resignation, which I couldn't reveal as it could have negatively impacted someone's career.
Meanwhile, I received a job offer from another organization B, who wanted me to start in one month's time, while the notice period at A was 2 months. My immediate mentor accepted my resignation, but the top managers did not. When they finally accepted it, they were unwilling to reduce the notice period, which they stated should end after the first month. I responsibly handed over my work to a colleague and left after requesting my top manager to waive off one month from the notice period. They refused, but I had to join B, so I stopped reporting to A.
A withheld my one month's pay and notified me that I am legally obligated to serve the additional month's notice.
What could be the implications of this notice? Please advise. My new organization B is willing to compensate for this.
Please assist me as this situation has been causing me sleepless nights.

Notice period is an internal matter of the respective organization. Still, if an employee requests a waiver of the notice period, normally, the company should waive it. Insisting on notice is really an unfair practice of the management. Even in the case of establishments having standing orders, they do make flexible rules. And I don't think that any company has filed any suit against a former employee for the recovery of notice pay. Therefore, my advice is to forget the notice.
