Is it an offence for an employee to abruptly leave the job without giving any notice period to the company, for the simple reason that he has other issues and does not want to work for the company anymore? What if he DOES NOT owe them anything?
As per appointment order, there may be an agreement of 1 month's notice period on either side before quitting/termination. But what if this is simply not followed?

It is not crime.
AAK (Advocate) 14 August 2013
Its not a crime. At the most the company can claim some monetory compensation.
Sudhir Kumar, Advocate (Advocate) 14 August 2013
at least in India it is not crime as the constitution gives fundametal right against slavery. At the most it may be contractual violation.

I would say that the Employee needs to pay the compensation to the Company.
Kumar Doab (FIN) 04 February 2014
If there is a clause on notice period of 1 month or notice pay in lieu of notice period:
--- Then this is the max. Compensation or liquidated damages desired by employer that has drafted the contract of employment/appointment letter and this shall be the max. compensation to be paid by employer/employee, whosoever has initiated the separation.
---Employee or employer both can terminate the contract/employment with or without notice.
If employee has initiated the separation employee may demand to supply the correct FNF statement for verification and acceptance. Employer can adjust notice pay in FNF statement.
