Legal Question in Employment Law in India

Hi,
I joined a company few months back. After working for 1 month in that company I resigned. ( Reason: They screwed me, making me work day and night, but lets leave that aside ). Now, company policy says that I have to serve 2 months notice period. But I didn't. After resignation I worked there for 14 days, and then never went back.
The company sent me one telegram and two letters, saying Unauthorized absence from duty, and I have to go back and serve the notice period. I can't do that. They said, they faced loss, monetary loss , reputation loss, project loss.
They say, If I will not go back then they will take legal action against me. Now, what is that legal action. Also, I have to compensate the losses they have faced. Now, Can they really ask for the loss they faced because of my resignation. Because in that case they can project any amount. In my appointment letter it was salary in lieu of notice period. One more thing, in recent letter they have mentioned my wrong resignation date ( No idea if this is deliberate act or what ). They mentioned my original resgination date + 7 Days !!!
Moreover, I have not replied to any of the letter till now on the suggestion of one of my relative. Will that go against me ?
Please advice.
