Dear Rajesh,

Your wife has the freedom to chose work and place of work according to her choice and for that reason Neither u nor anybody can do anything about it...You cannot prevent her from working in any part of the world.........

Mr Rajesh see if this would help you.

I believe it is possible to get a claim in the profits earned by her

Partnership Act

16- Personal profits earned by partners.
  Subject to contract between the partners –
    (a) if a partner derives any profit for himself from any transaction of the firm, or from the use of the property or business connection of the firm or the firm name, he shall account for that profit and pay it to the firm;
    (b) if a partner carries on any business of the same nature as and competing with that of the firm, he shall account for and pay to the firm all profits made by him in that business.

Yes Rajesh. You can file a suit and get an injunction restraining her from practising in your town while remaining as partner in your clinic.
