If you have not signed any bond for 2 years, you can insist for relieving order. You can send the request letter through Registered Post and if you do not receive relieving order or any reply from your past employer, you can submit this as a proof of your past-service to your new employer (they can also cross-check with your past-employer through employee verification process!). If you have handed-over your responsibilities and company's properties (like cellphone, laptop, etc., if any), there will not be any problem to join a new employer without relieving order (provided, if they accept). But, it is always better to mention all the facts in writing so that future liabilities or complications can be avoided.
