Hello group,
I am a fresh graduate who graduated in 2010. I joined a company one and a half months ago. I have not signed any bond, and no work has been assigned to me yet.
The problem now is that I could not stay there as I did not like the company. I feel alone and left out in the company. I tried looking for a better opportunity than my current company, and fortunately, as I am still a fresher, I got a new and better job, and now I want to leave.
The company is asking for a 2-month notice before leaving, but I only have 15 days to join the new company, after which I cannot join. When I enquired with some people, they suggested leaving the company without informing them (which is called absconding).
If I leave the company without informing them, what kind of legal action could they take against me? Would it be in monetary terms or could it lead to jail time?
I do not plan to go back to them to ask for a relieving letter since I was not assigned any work or given any training. I also do not intend to request an experience certificate as it does not apply to me.
What would you suggest I do? And if I leave the company without informing them, what could be the consequences?

Leave and enjoy your new job, nothing will happen. Although it is against your offer letter because notice period is a mandatory terms, which need to comply.
