and finally sold it to a Multinational Company at a premium. While selling his

twenty-five years from the date of execution of the agreement.
After a couple of years, Rohan met a friend whÍ wanted to form a eompany. The
prospective company will work in the area of software. Rohan was interested in being
a part of the venture, but the problem was that the new company would be operating
close to the old entity. So, they visited a local Chartered Accountant who said that the
Non-Competitive Agreement is barred as per the Indian Contract Act,1872. Hence,
they can definitely form their company.
The new company was incorporated after this, and the operational level activities
began. However, after a few days, Rohan received a notice from the legal team of the
multinational company that they were in breach of the Non-Competitive Agreement.
Has Rohan violated the agreement?
