The CCI has rejected allegations of unfair business practices against legal process outsourcing (LPO) company Pangea3 made by former Pangea3 employee Larry Lee Mccallister against it, reported the PTI.
Mccallister, who resigned on 12 July from the LPO that was bought by Thomson Reuters in 2010, had alleged that the non-compete clause in his employment contract was anti-competitive.
The clause barred him from accepting employment with a competitor for a year after his resignation.

if there are facts of the case then one can say that. but in absence of any fact and the kind of compensation etc that was offered to the employee in question, it would be difficult to say anything.
how is she suppose to earn anything for one year ? it appears to be in violation of section 23 of the indian contract act, unless facts are more clear, difficult to say why comp commission took one stand over the other
I am aware of the Gujarat Bottling case, thank you.
I admire your brilliance in deducing that the law as laid down in Gujarat Bottling case would be totally relevant to the facts of the present case, without even knowing the facts of the present case.
If you are however aware of the facts, then do share the same.
The non-compete would of course not stand up in court if properly addressed. Poor guy will go back with a bad impression of India, when he otherwise could have obtained relief.
