Under the Indian Law, the employment agreements with negative covenants is valid and legally enforceable if the parties agree with their free consent i.e. without fraud, coercion, undue influence, mistake and misrepresentation. ... Indian law mandates the employment bonds to be “reasonable” in order to be valid.
Though the bond, that any organization signs with an employee stands null and void as per the Constitution of India but employer may initiate action against you for recovery and till judicial verdict is in your favor, the bond conditions are applicable.
the Madras High Court in Toshnial Brothers (Pvt) Ltd v E Eswarprasad & Ors held that the existence of a legal injury accruing as a consequence of breach is a pre-requisite for claiming liquidated damages in accordance with section 74 of the Indian Contract Act, 1872. In other words, the employer must show a legal injury automatically resulting from the breach of the commitment to serve for a minimum period.According to the Court, a presumption of legal injury arises incases“where the employer or the management concerned was shown to have either incurred any expenditure or involved itself into financial commitments to either give any special training either within the country or abroad or in having conferred any special benefit or favour to the detriment of the claimant in favour of the violator involving monetary commitments.” The inevitable conclusion from the foregoing decision is that the employer must prove that the employee was the beneficiary of special favour or training or concession at the expense of the employer. Otherwise, actual injury accruing as a result of the breach would have to be proved.
Thus you may wait for the employer to initiate legal steps in this regard which can be challenged on the basis of their claim for this.
