Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's dismissal of the appellant's application under Order VII, Rules 10 and 11 of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908, affirming that the jurisdiction of the Indian courts was properly invoked in the matter concerning the employment contract and subsequent actions of the defendant. The Court established that the defendant's actions post-termination, including contacting potential customers and participating in a trade fair under the company's name, constituted a breach of fiduciary duty. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the High Court's decision.
