Legal Action On Job Abandonment By MNC?

Hi
I joined MNC company and worked there for 1week and i didn't got the salary too. I informed them due to family reason I couldn't continue in that company. But they drop letter stating you are terminated and you need to pay due including company 2 month salary failure will lead to legal action.
Please suggest me what I need to do please

you should need to see your agreement & joining letter.They have mention every thing there

There does not appear to be any ground for any legal action against you.

My dear anonymous friend,
It seems that your appointment letter has a clause that either party has to give two months notice period or pay in lieu thereof before leaving the service. Since you have violated the contract/agreement and left the job without fulfilling the conditions of agreement, it is for this reason that they have asked you to pay back two months salary. It was not a good conduct on your part leaving the company abruptly.
In my view, you have now two options before you:-
1.You pay the amount of two months salary minus one week unpaid salary and settle the issue once for all.
2. You wait for their legal action (they may not take action, it may be pressure tactics) . By the way, if you happens to receive the legal notice, you offer them to pay and settle the issue.

Hi cease,
I seen they mention employee need to pay 2 month notice period .but I didn't got any salary and i informed them with in a week.i.informed them about my family situation too.
Whether it will lead to any legal action if I didn't pay.
Please suggest me
Thanks veenum for your reply

If there was a clause of two month's notice period from both end, then they can take legal action against you (may be it is only a pressure tactics). Your informing them within a week or your family situation is irrelevant.
As suggested by mr. BS Kalki use the 2nd option.

Dear,
The reasons given by you may be true but when you agree to the terms and conditions of the appointment letter by accepting it, you are bound by those terms. Your leaving the job abruptly must have caused them inconvenience. If your family reasons were so genuine, you should have discussed the same and should have requested them to relieve you, probably that would have worked.But your leaving the job in a improper way must have annoyed them.
They have not denied you the salary but as I suggested you need to settle the issue mutually in person with them. Of course, if they wish, they can take legal action against you for recovery of the dues.

Hi
I agree but I called hr to move personally saying i have already informed but she replied saying it's a process and don't say you informed . You didn't served the notice period so you got the mail like that.
What if I got the notice. Whether it will be police case. Whether it will affect my career?

As mentioned by senior members it just a pressure tactics, they would not be sending legal notice since you have worked for 1 week only and has not been paid for that too. So legally you would not be bound to pay, since you are a probationer for the initial few months (normally 6 months). That does not mean that any employee can leave any company without proper communication please bear that in mind always.

Thanks everyone. Yes i agree
It's not professionalism to leave company with initimation or communication
