Can You Challenge a 2-Year Non-Compete Clause in Court After Resigning?

An appointment letter of an organization for managerial grade mentions that an employee resigning cannot join any of their client companies for a period of 2 years even after exit. Can such a clause be challenged in the court of law?

Such clauses have no real legal value. As a former employee you should respect intellectual rights and former employer trade secrets.
