Hi Karthik,
First, tell me what you mentioned in the offer (of appointment) letter as the last date for reporting to duty? Has this elapsed, or are there still some more days left? If you granted an extension of joining time again and again, as you narrated, I presume every extension is oral or by email. It shows how badly you are in need of him joining your firm. Have you asked him to produce any experience letter and relieving letter from the previous employer? Have you verified his antecedents? Subject to these measures, you decide whether to await his extension of time or joining. If the time limit has expired and you don't need his services or cannot wait indefinitely, you are free to inform him of the cancellation of your offer, and in his place, someone else has been appointed, etc. Let this be in writing, either through email or by speed post and one post by ordinary mail, one through a courier, and one message by telegram. This would complete one cycle.

Since he has joined his duty on the 19th and the appointment letter was given on the 19th itself, and he is not turning up for work, this is a matter of absconding. I hope that your company must have some policies or standing orders to follow. Please send the candidate a letter of absconding from duties and ask them to report within 3 days upon receiving the letter; otherwise, the candidate will be terminated. Terminate him if the candidate does not join within the stipulated time. I hope this resolves your issue.
