If someone has signed the offer letter, Is he legally bound to join the company, Or he can reject the offer and go somewhere else?

Read the fine print. In most cases, you are not legally bound to join. But there may be a clause that says you cannot show their offer to another company to negotiate for a higher comp so if you've done that already you're pretty much broken the contract already. Otherwise, no worries, just politely say you cannot join.

Awesome, thanks for helping.

Don't worry. No one will sue you for not joining after accepting offer letter! No company has time to do so.
They are well aware of this practice and that's why they release few more offer letters than actual requirement.
But yes, it's professional world. So you should also have that much courtesy to inform them in advance and not abscond on the doj...

Dude, You can reject the offer even a day before the joining date!
It's immoral but not illegal 😄

There is clause that candidate cannot show a offer from company X to company Y but I think nowadays most of the folks are sharing offers with other companies which is a contract break. Idk the consequences either.

In today's world everybody is holding 5-6 offers so don't worry about that. Companies negotiate at last moment also to get you on boarded. Just try to be as kind and polite as you can when you reject the offer.

Just a thought - folks are having 5-6 offers and then selecting one out of these. I presume these 5-6 companies are automatically out from your next job hunt? I had rejected an offer from CTS in 2011 and I had applied to them again in 2017 through a very senior person in CTS and my profile was rejected by HR saying that candidate reneged previous offer. So guys, think about it while taking 5-6 offers and then rejecting them outright. You never know when tables will turn and become an employer's market.

"legally" there can be many things that the company puts in the wording. But practically very few companies will pursue legal action if you don't honour those terms especially if you are not joining. Got this titbit from a legal team of an MNC via personal relationships. So, most likely nothing will happen but you need to make sure that the company which you are not joining is not a very litigation friendly place
