A company would argue in court that the employee has special skills / knowledge that is needed for a proper transition, and his breaching the contract and quitting before 3 months would put the company to severe detriment. They will also argue that the employee is a graduate who has understood the consequences of agreeing to a 3-month notice.
I'm not sure if anyone has gone to court to enforce this, but a court may well decide that this isn't bonded labour because there's no debtor-creditor relationship here, and the employee entered into a contract with his eyes wide open.
