The employer can take legal action against the employee for recovery of the notice period compensation amount.It an withhold the F&F settlement and can instruct the employee to return the expenses incurred towards imparting training to him, at least proportionately.
The employer is entitled to initiate proper legal action as per the terms and conditions of the employment offer letter

Yes, both employee an employer are abide by terms and conditions of agreement.If anyone of them breach the terms and conditions of agreement then other party has righ to proceed for legal action. You may issue legal notice to employee and demand amount of two months salary as compensation and expenses incurred towards imparting training and in case of non compliance of notice may file suit for recovery of amount mentioned in notice against employee.

Well analysed, opined and advised by experts, I fully agree.
Terms and conditions of appointment shall govern the subject.
The employee has to refund the notice period amount.
It is better to consult and engage a local prudent lawyer for proper advise and necessary proceedings

Yes, the employer can enforce Notice period. However, agreement as to the minimum period of employment is not easy to be enforced.
