Resigning tamil nadu police without serving notice period

Querist : Anonymous (Querist) 15 June 2023 This query is : Resolved 
Hi, One of friend is a Tamil Nadu Police (Station Inspector) for 2 and half years (completed probation), He got an offer form a good known IT firm and good salary. The problem with this job is he needs to join immediately. Serving notice period of 3 months is not possible for him. His higher officials are not in good terms with him and are not willing to do him any favour too. Is there a rule or way he could quit without any issues ? And I would also like to know what would happen if he deserted police job and joined IT firm without letting them know. Will he face any issues doing so ? will he caught in background verification of the private firm ? Thanks for your response!

read his offer of appointment. At times govt job has option of termination of service by either side by one month notice or salary in lieu thereof.

Only if he is temporary and not completed probation.

If his employment offer letter mandates that he should serve three months notice period on resignation then he has to either serve or pay a compensation for the unserved notice period.
He cannot remain absent without resignation or leave, he my termed as a deserter if he is dong any such thing, for which he my even be punishable because he is working in an unformed service.
