Since you sign the contract, and the clause state clearly is 2 month notice, you can't run away. Forget appointment letter or other document, contract has the ultimate authority.

The consequence is, they would send you a lawyer letter, stating that you breach the contract and will be penalise accordingly if you don't pay back within the period stated in the letter. And if you avoid the letter, the punishment is more severe than the 2 months salary.

In addition, there is no court case, because you already lost in the event of any argument. My advise is to talk to your supervisor, and see if this problem can be resolve in better way, which is to dedect only the last month salary.

Unless he has employer-employee relationship problem, otherwise I don't see why he can't discuss in peace with his supervisor. I'm sure his supervisor is more than willing to listen to him and allow a fine young graduate to seek better opportunities.
