By consent of the parties civil application is taken up for hearing forthwith. 3 Civil Application is filed by the applicant who was the original plaintiff in a suit filed in 2 the City Civil Court seeking injunction against a former employee. Injunctions sought were against taking up employment else where and against divergence of confidential information in accordance with restrictions contained in Clause 4 of the confidential agreement signed by the respondent employee. Record indicates that initially both the injunctions were granted by the City Civil Court but the employee carried the matter in appeal by filing an Appeal From Order No.858/2005. Said appeal was disposed off on 14.11.2005 and out of the two injunctions only one was retained and the injunction granted was only in respect of the confidential information of the nature that would fall within the purview of clause 4, but which is not a part of public knowledge of the confidential information. 4 Since appeal has been admitted on merits, it will be necessary to continue the injunction that was operating from 14.11.2005 till when the 3 suit was disposed off on 29.6.2009. In the circumstances, it is directed that pending disposal of this appeal, respondent will not divulge any confidential information of the nature which would fall within the purview of clause 4, but which is not a part of public knowledge within the meaning of clause 5 of the confidential agreement dated 26.5.2002. Rule made absolute in the aforesaid terms. Civil Application stands disposed off. ( R.S. MOHITE, J.)
