Rajesh joins a firm and signs a non-compete agreement, prohibiting him from working with competitors in the same field for three years. After a year, Rajesh resigns and the firm releases him. When Rajesh receives a job offer from another company dealing with the same products, the firm seeks a court order to prevent him from taking the job. Will the firm succeed in getting this injunction?

Under Indian law, non-compete agreements are generally valid if they are reasonable in scope and duration. However, the court will consider the specific terms of the agreement, the nature of the business, and the potential harm to the firm if Rajesh takes the job. In this case, the firm may have a strong argument, but the court will ultimately decide if the agreement is enforceable and if the injunction should be granted.
