Dear Sir,
If in the appointment order there is a clause ( agreement) between the employee and employer that the employee will not leave the job without giving proper notice period. In these circumstances, can the company sue for recovery of money from the employee for not adhering to the contract?
Please give your expert advice

If the employment is based on a Bond executed by both of them then the employer can sue the employee

But for actual losses only and not for entire agreed amount.
