A.Dear Client,
Before leaving a company you need to go through the terms and conditions of the offer letter you got at the time of joining the Company that governs your relationship between an employee and employer. Any verbal or text message contrary to the terms of the offer letter is of no use for lack of evidentiary value. If your offer letter stipulates that for tendering resignation, you have to serve a notice period, then you need to abide by the said condition of employment. So for breach of said condition, the employer can withhold your relieving letter including settlement dues, and even they can take legal action against you for recovery of damage caused for breach of contract which may put a stigma in your service career and may be a cause of rejection of selection or further employment elsewhere on Back Ground Verification(BGV) process of the employee. So considering the pros and cons of the matter, and to protect your future career, you need to decide your future course of action. You may, however, approach the concerned Labour Commissioner praying for their intervention into the matter considering your career prospect, and they can entertain your appeal to resolve the matter.

A.Dear client,
Serve a legal notice to the employer demanding that he issue your relieving letter immediately, failing which you are at liberty to issue appropriate legal action. Sending the legal notice should resolve the issue.
