Legal Question in Employment Law in India

Employment bond
I am working in a govt organisation (Bank). I have broken a bond (undertaking) and have resigned and not relieved yet.

The details of bond are 1) the appointment letter says i have to sign a bond for 3 lacs / 3 years. But actually at the time of joining i signed an undertaking without witness, lesser stamp amount, and stamp paper was bought in my name by the employer without my consent one month before the joining date.
At the time of resigning I gave two months notice pay and one month notice. The notice pay cheque was voluntarily encashed by employer. No demand for bond / undertaking was made before encashment of cheque. Now employer is making demand under a ''bond'' and not against the undertaking which was signed. I am saying i have not signed any bond as per appointment letter, & undertaking was obtained by coercion, exploitaion and i was not informed about it in advance. Notice period as given by me is over. Employer says that the notice pay will be adjusted for bond money, which i am disputing.
Employer does not have board/govt. approval for obtaining bond. No training was provided to me.
Am I right If i sent a letter stating that i will stop working from a particular date and leave.
