Legal Question in Employment Law in India

Hi,
I had accepted a job offer from an organization during the month of September and had informed that I would be joining in month of November. However, Since I decided to pursue with a different opportunity, I informed the first company about my inability to join them as per my acceptance of the offer letter.
The issue is that the offer letter had a clause like this--------------- "In the event of your failing to report for duty on or before the date agreed by you, you will be required to pay one month�s notice pay plus other expenses incurred by us on your recruitment."----------
Now, the organization has asked me to pay one months gross salary as compensation for them.
I wanted what is the solution for me for this problem.
Should I pay the money fearing some legal complication ?
Or can I ignore till I get any kind of notice?
Thanks

To buy peace pay up or else wait if you can. Usually the companies do not file petty litigations.
