If the notice period was mandatory, you are bound to abide. If you contest, it might affect your present career.

If in your appointment letter, the condition for the notice period is noted, you shall abide by the condition. Anyhow it is better to pay the amount to avoid legal complications.

They can take legal action for recovery. It could also adversely affect your future employment prospects.

Since you say they paid full and final settlement, you can reply accordingly and close the issue. If you wish consult a local lawyer to peruse your offer and notice terms to suitably reply

Take help of local lawyer to reply the notice received citing full and final settlement.

You didn't resign from job and therefore there is no requirement of notice
On the contrary your employer could have taken action against you for absconding from the job by holding a proper inquiry which he didn't and terminated your services by settling your account San notice pay. Which is illegal. Give your employer a counter notice. He will quiet down.

Your employer has been very linient where they did not initiate any action for absconding.
Terms and conditions of your appointment shall govern the issue, show it to a local prudent lawyer for professional advise.

thanks a lot for advice ..i have replied to their email the issue is not that i dont want to pay the dues .but they actually sent money in my back account in the name of full and final payment in 2018 after 3 months of my absconding .generally all the comany deduct any amount due to them from that amount only and then they pay full and final payment . is int it wrong in giving me full and final payment then and after 2 years demanding for a amount

As regards demand after 2 years, in my opinion you may contact a prudent lawyer for further process from your local area.
