Dear Ms.,
Do not worry about the notice period unless you have signed any document, such as an appointment letter or any undertaking stating that you will abide by the rules and regulations in place.
They cannot take legal action unless you have not returned any items that may have been given to you by them for use in performing your work or job.
So, as others have also mentioned, just relax. The only consequence may be that you will not receive an experience letter, and if feedback is sought from your previous company, it may not be in your favor.

An employee worked for 11 months in an organization, but he refused to accept the appointment letter or kept postponing it. Eventually, he became absconding. Now, he is claiming for full and final settlement and other dues. However, the company does not want to settle his dues or provide a relieving letter because he is an absconding employee. The employee is alleging that the employer did not give him an appointment letter and is not settling his dues. In this case, whom should be blamed? Is it the organization or the employee?

It is the duty of the employer to issue an appointment letter. Unless you have documented that you have tried to serve the appointment letter to him and he 'refused' the said letter, you are at fault. For example, you have sent the appointment letter to his address by speed/registered post, and it was returned by the postal department. If you do not have any documents of serving him the appointment letter, then he has every right to raise the dispute of not receiving the appointment letter.
There is no term as 'absconding' in labor law. If he is absent/not coming to the office without leave and/or permission, then he is guilty of unauthorized absence. For such an act, disciplinary action may be initiated. From the bare reading, it looks like the company is on the back foot.
