Hope you have mentioned reason for not continuing the training in your resignation letter and the same is accepted by BSNL. You have to obtain relieving orders for joining the other PSU service. BSNL can enforce the bond only if they have sustained loss or damage on account of your not completing the training and not serving the company. It will be very difficult for BSNL to prove loss or damage. In my view they may not enforce the Bond. But may forfeit security deposit of Rs, 5000/-.
