There is a problem within the team with the team lead. Two guys left the company after fighting with him, with the manager's approval, just two months before my resignation. I am not involved with them in any issues, and I am quite calm, working nicely with the team lead. Now, I have received an offer from a good company. I informed my manager that I need to quit, but my manager is blaming me, saying that I also joined the guys who left the company and that I am seeking revenge on the team lead by doing this. This is not acceptable, and he mentioned that he will not accept my resignation. Despite this, I requested to leave, and eventually, I applied for resignation by sending an email to both the manager and HR. However, they have not replied in the past five days. Is there any clause that could force me to continue working? Team, please suggest.

Give a letter in writing. If they are not accepting, send the same with a covering note that since they are not accepting, you are forced to send the same by registered post. Send by registered post addressed to HR and a copy to your Manager. But wait for another five days. Ask your Manager. They normally react to put pressure. After some time, they will reconcile to the fact.
They also take such opportunities to project to the Top that salary levels are low and need corrections. I do not think you should rush to any action at least for the next ten days. Keep politely reminding your manager.

Hi Sivasankaran,
Thanks for the suggestion and appreciated. I will wait for some days for the response.
These are the things that are bugging me and causing worry. Please read with patience to understand my concern.
1) Since other teammates left the company because of the Team Lead and escalated the issue to the Manager and HR. The Manager could not solve their problems as they didn't have another project to assign them to. They agreed to let one guy leave the company with 55 days' notice and another with 40 days, even though their notice period is 90 days.
2) During my interview phase, I received a Job Description that aligned completely with my experience. This impressed me, so I joined the company. However, my team lead had different plans. He assigned me work in the internal test lab, unrelated to customers, and requested support for 2 years due to the critical nature of the project. After some time, the Team Lead and Manager offered me another project. I agreed and forwarded my resume to the Manager, but they did not secure the project.
3) Unfortunately, my Manager is involved in many projects and trusts the Team Lead, unaware of the issues within my team. He only became aware of internal issues due to conflicts among team members. The Team Lead is providing false information to the Manager. The conflicts escalated through emails, with all team members in the CC. This may have led the Manager to become irritated and release them early.
4) Those who had problems and reasons for leaving the company did so without any issues. I was not involved in any way, yet they are causing problems for me now by not accepting my resignation.
5) I have sent my resignation via email to the Manager with CC to HR. Is this sufficient, or do I need to convey it differently?
6) In my resignation email, I stated: "As per our contractual agreement (2 Months), kindly consider my notice period from June 08, 2012, to August 08, 2012, and kindly release me on or before August 08, 2012." Is this clear enough regarding my relieving date?
7) During the notice period, do I need to continue supporting work since the Manager has not replied to my final schedule of work/transition tasks after my resignation? My concern is that if I do work and issues arise, they may blame me for voluntarily taking on the tasks.
Please advise.

In continuation of the above:
(2nd Point - adjustment) During the interview phase, the job description provided was for System Administration and Networking, which aligns with my experience. However, the actual project assigned is application support, which is completely unrelated to my expertise. I find myself in an environment where I am neither interested nor comfortable. After 7 to 8 months, I discovered that my current position does not match what was initially presented during the interview phase. I have email proof of this discrepancy.

My TL guy is planned is avoiding us to meet my Manager frequently. Everything I used to report to the TL, and even I don't have any escalations or complaints. However, I do not have a good and healthy relationship with the manager. It seems they are not cooperating with my resignation. I have served my notice period as per my appointment order, which is 60 days, and I am even ready for 90 days if they say it's per company policy. But they are not replying to me. I am completely disinterested in working in this company due to the wrong profile and cheap politics of the TL. I don't trust the manager and the people. Could any kind-hearted person please suggest how I can proceed further? My New Company HR is following up with me for the resignation acceptance mail to be forwarded. Please suggest.

In addition:
After I sent the resignation email to the manager and CC'd HR, HR spoke with me face-to-face, telling me that she would talk to me later. However, the next day, when I tried to meet her, she mentioned she was busy with work and that she would call me herself. But this has not happened.
Should I ask for resignation acceptance from HR or the manager? Is it advisable, or should I continue following up with both the manager and HR to obtain resignation acceptance?
Please advise...

I spoke to my manager. He said that they have informed the sales team to speak with the customer to determine if they can replace the candidate to fill the position. In the event the customer agrees, they will accept my resignation. Otherwise, my resignation will not be accepted. He mentioned that currently, my resignation status is "NOT ACCEPTED" and asked me to meet next week for an update.
Please advise on how to proceed further. I am serving the company's notice period and am not a project-dependent resource. Headcount and revenue are the key factors for them. I have lost interest in working for this company. I have a good work profile in a new company and want to resign. Kindly guide me in the appropriate manner.
If they do not accept until their project is completed, it seems I may not be relieved. In some situations, if the company loses the project, they may terminate employees by paying settlements. Are they allowed to do so? I am unsure on what grounds they can hold me and force me to continue.
Please professionally and legally advise me on how to resign from the company while ensuring I receive all necessary documents correctly.
Please provide me with suggestions.

As I keep saying, you need to wait patiently. Such pressure tactics are used by most bosses who are not very professional.
Legally, when you give your resignation letter, you have given notice, and you need to be relieved at the close of business hours. They will keep you on tenterhooks for 70 days, and very close to the end, they will inform you.
Do not make any mistakes at this point in time. Keep documents of what you do. Be very patient as they are testing your patience. This is a very old pressurizing tactic they are adopting. The man with patience wins.
