my client is a pharmacist and he has been running a hospital and he was hired a Doctor in his hospital. And the Doctor now exit from my client's hospital and while exit, my client and Doctor have entered into a mutual agreement, wherein there is a condition that in future, my client will not hire any other Doctor with the same qualification or specialist in the same premises where the present hospital situated.
whether this agreement with the above condition is void, in future whether my client will have an option to challenge the said condition.

Can you tell why your client didn't use his mind while agreeing to this nonsense term?
I think the appointing authority in the hospital might be a managing committee so the absurd agreement even if entered between your client and that doctor is not binding upon the committee/hospital.
The agreement is void as no agreement can be against a public policy.

Sec.27 of contrat act.:- Any agreement in restraint of trade and practice is void.
Here the agreement is in restraint of trade and practice and also against public policy.

Since the restriction imposed is absolute it is void.

You need not cancel the agreement since it is not at all an agreement in the eyes of law.
Just carry on your works and appoint another doctor.
