Indian Court Says No to Non-compete Clauses: What Does This Mean for Employees?

Dear friends,

Indian court rules against a non-compete clause in the employment agreement. The Delhi High Court has passed a ruling (re-asserting the position of law) that the non-compete clause, where companies restrain employees from soliciting/approaching their clients even after they leave the company, is invalid. The court struck down this non-compete clause in the employment agreement and ruled in favor of the employee.

A good and detailed judgment. I hope members have the patience to read it in full and understand how Section 27 of the Contract Act applies.
