Notice pay requirement in probation period

Dear Sir/Madam, I have joined a company in last September, & as I have not received any confirmation letter, so I am currently on probation period as per employment letter. My query is that, recently I got opportunity in Government sector. So I had given 1 month notice to my current employer, now they are saying to serve 3 months Notice period or pay full salary in lieu thereof.
In Employment letter the notice period is separately mentioned to be of 3 months & does not mention whether it is applicable to probationary period or not.

I request you to please help me on to this.

Read your appointment letter once more had they written after worked for certain period in probation you will be automatically treat as a confirmed employ either confirmation letter issued to you or not, if this point is not written then meet your higher appointing authority/director if they too adament then meet a lawyer and send a notice to them, it will create pressure on them and your problem will sort out .

Thank you Sir for your reply. My Apoointment letter clearly says, I will be on probation till I do not get any confimration letter.

Please confirm me if the notice period is applicable in prbation period, although I have already given them 1 month notice, but as earlier discussed they are pressurising me to serve 3 months.
