Legal Question in Employment Law in India

employment law

I left an organisation and joined a competitor. My first employer now threatens me with a legal case as the appointment letter said that I can not join a competition for 2 years after leaving services.

Does this rule exist in India ? Many people have been doing this on regular basis and my understanding is that the rule in India is not applicable . please suggest

Re: employment law

The said rule without doubt is applicable in India. Normally the caluses of "Non-Compete","Non-Solicitation" and "Confidentiality" are in almost every employments agreements and the same are executable under law by companies if violated. Any how it depends upon the exact wordings and phrases used in the agreements without which we could not give any opinion.
