If your current employer does not require your release letter from your previous employer, you may join a new firm during your notice period.

This means you shouldn't start another job in your notice period unless your previous employer agrees.

For non-serving notice period, the employer can withheld your dues. They can sue you in court in order to recover such dues and training cost, if training was provided during your course of employment.
