This is a service contract fitted with aclause restraining the Employee from disclosing details of assignments performed , info. gathered in course of his employment and other confidential info. relating to his Organisation.
This requirement also covers a period of five yrs. from the date of leaving the job as per the agmt..
In case of any breach of contract, the employer can approach the court of law for ensuring proper compliance of the clauses, pray for remedy available under both criminal & civil laws.
However, in case the confidential info. was disclosed by the employee or ex- employee to any govt. authority in course of any investigation or in public interest,
the shall not be treated as breach of NDA.
