Can employer rolled back appraisal salary after resignation?

I joined the company in December 2018 and put resignation in July 2022 after serving 3.5+ years. As per the company's appointment letter I can't leave the company before 3 years. So I have fulfilled that term. But in April 2022 appraisal letter company mentioned that you agree to continue for the next 12 months with the company. Now, I have to leave this company due to the late-night shift problem but there are telling me that I have to give back my appraisal salary. They have not mentioned the penalty if I am not continuing it for the next 12 months. Can my company roll back the appraisal salary? Please guide me
