Ethically, you should serve the notice period. If you are bound by a bond, then you are legally compelled to serve the notice period as well. Not doing so may also have negative implications for your career, as you may not receive an experience or relieving letter.

Only casual or daily-paid employees do not need to serve any notice period. This query lacks merit. When a person is holding a responsible position, how can the person leave as per the individual's wish?

Yes, it is compulsory. If your appointment letter includes a clause regarding the notice period, you must serve a proper notice of resignation when you decide to leave the job. You also have to work during the notice period with the organization and properly hand over the charge of your job, files, records, etc., to a person recommended by your boss or directly to your boss. You may also get some ideas from your HR about your settlement, PF formalities, etc., during this period. On the last day of your notice period, the company will relieve you from your duties.
If you need to quit the job earlier, you may include such a request in your notice of resignation, stating, "I would be thankful if management relieves me earlier than the committed notice period of one month, and I will not claim any salary/pay for the days for which I am relieved early."

This notice period to serve in the company is always an eyewash. Otherwise, we have seen certain companies remove their employees, who are mostly on-site workers, with just one day's notice. Also, in many places, HR plays a tricky policy to remove the company's employees. There is no hard and fast rule in this process, and as one of my legal friends said on this portal, none of the hiring agreements legally make any sense due to the lack of registration of the agreement with proper judicial charges under the Law of the Land.
I would like to request your comments on this matter, if any.

It depends on the company and its rules. If your offer letter or the standing orders of the company state that you have to serve a notice period, it is always better to adhere to the notice period and enable your company to find a replacement for you. Most companies do not strictly enforce this policy. So, if you wish to leave early, just keep your HR department informed and complete all formalities, including obtaining your relieving letter. Nowadays, many companies conduct background checks with your previous employer. It is advisable to serve the notice period or complete all formalities to avoid any potential issues in your new role.
The need for serving a notice period depends upon the employment contract with the organization. In most companies, it is written for the benefit of both the employer and the employee. This means that the employee may leave by paying the notice period for the remaining days, and the organization may also ask them to leave after paying the agreed notice period amount. However, it is expected from a professional to ensure that their immediate exit should not hamper the organization's work.
In case of conflict, organizations usually do not issue a relieving certificate unless someone serves their notice period.
