Legal Question in Employment Law in India

I resigned from my company abruptly. On my last working day, I gave out my resignation to my manager and the director to the department via email but NOT in person. In my resignation, I mentioned that I will not be able to go through the notice period. Afterwards, I stopped going to work and there was no communication for the next 6 days. I sent an email on the 7th day asking for the status of my relieving and since then I have been getting nothing but BS. At this point they have even stopped responding back to me. One important section that I have mentioned below from my appointment letter.

�Your services can be terminated by the company by giving you two months� notice period in writing or salary equivalent to two months in lieu of notice period. Similarly , you may resign from the company by giving two months� notice in writing. However, the option to relieve you of your services before completion of two months� notice period shall rest with the company subject to adjustment of salary & allowance in lieu of the shortfall in the notice period�

Does this section imply that the company decides whether I can buy out the notice period or not because when I left the company , I left my one and a half months of salary behind with the intention of buying out the notice period. Now the company won�t even let me buy the notice period and my salary got blocked as well. Can they do that or are they just bulling me ? please advise.

Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks
