You can file a civil suit for recovery of the balance amount and also seek perpetual injunction in the same suit for seeking correct character certificate if you want that. In this I am assuming is a private company... Else you have to approach Central Administrative Tribunal

You can file a case against them including defamation and further sue in criminal case as well , if it is not mention in your appointment letter than they can't do anything against you and the rest of legal advice I can give you only after having a detail discussion with you

Remarks on your character notwithstanding, salary adjustment against failure to provide notice to your employer would depend on the following factors:
1. Place of employment (since different states may have different shops and establishments act)
2. Length of employment

If you are working in Delhi with this company for over 3 month's (assuming all other finer details to be equal) and the contract / appointment letter is silent as to requirement of notice, Section 30 of the Delhi Shops and Establishments Act will apply. This Section provides for a mandatory one month notice to be given by the Employee to the Employer. If the Employee fails to do so, the Employer can deduct a month's wages in lieu of the same.
