Hi Kiran, the legal obligations and requirements surrounding absconding employees can vary depending on the jurisdiction and the specific circumstances. In many cases, if an employee has been absent without notice or authorization for an extended period, it may be considered job abandonment.

When an absconded employee returns and wishes to complete relieving formalities, it is advisable for the employer to consult with legal professionals to understand their rights and responsibilities in such a situation. They can provide guidance on the appropriate course of action based on local labor laws, employment contracts, and any internal policies or procedures that may be in place.
