The validity of employment bonds can be contested under Section 27 of the Contract Act, 1872, which prohibits agreements restraining trade and profession. Such agreements are considered illegal only if they restrict someone from pursuing a lawful profession, trade, or business. Section 27 mandat ...ReadMore

Ideally, you and your franchisor may arrange frequent meetings to talk business. If the franchisor is agreeing to the terms of the contract, you may negotiate an exit strategy.
Additionally, you may proceed for arbitration or mediation. Since they are quicker, less expensive, and more private ...ReadMore
