We have offered a job to a seeker but our old employee has denied to leave the organization. What should we do in such a case?

The candidate can be told to go back to his old company and ask for buyout of notice period which new company can pay. Beyond that new employer cannot do much if old company is not relieving on time.

As far as I comprehend, you mean to say that you had hired a replacement for one of your employees who had resigned from his services, and now your employee has expressed a desire to continue with his services and not exit.
Under such a circumstance, the employer needs to first decide if he wants to retain the services of the exiting employee. If yes, then you can ask the replacement candidate to check with his employer if he can be retained. If not, then you can revoke the offer and pay compensation in lieu of it, or make an offer for any other available suitable role for the new candidate.
If the employer wants to let the old employee go, then just accept his resignation and proceed with his exit, making way for the new candidate.

There are a couple of things to be considered before making a decision. You have offered a job seeker a position, and based on this offer, he/she may have resigned from their current job to join your company. What would be their position if you retract your offer? Secondly, what if the concerned employee submits another resignation? Is there a guarantee that he/she will not do it again? How long will this employee stay with you? What assurance is there? Since the resignation has already been accepted, you need to explain to the employee that you have taken action on it, found a replacement, and are moving forward. That's my view.
