Resigning and leaving to home country without visa cancellation

Dear Sir,

I worked for a company with an unlimited contract as an archives clerk for almost 7 months.

I resigned from my job due to an emergent court case in my country without giving notice period and asked them to cancel as early as possible but in vain. I left the country without cancellation.

I sent all my court documents to my company to prove that my exit was an emergency.

My question is: if I come back before the six-month period ends for visa cancellation, what consequences I could face as per the labour law?

If you want to leave, you are free to leave but you must comply with the notice period under the provision of the law i.e. serve the notice period and formally cancel your contract/visa.

Failing which the employer will have no choice but to report your absconding and you will have a lifetime ban.
