Your notice period of 2 months would begin from the date of resignation. Contract of employment becomes sacrosanct after it has been executed. Since you violated the contract you are liable to be sued for damages on account of breach of contract. Make peace by offering the salary of notice period lest you get entangled in a long drawn legal battle which may be disastrous for your career.
You should not have taken the issue very casually.
If you had decided to quit thecompany what prevented you from sending your resignation letter in advance along with the notice period?
As per the employment conditions you may be required to serve the notice period which is mandatory or can even buy the notice period accordingly.
If you dont do that the company may terminate your services and declare you as absconding.
