I am very very thankful for all your responses. Some people replied that there is a confusion in my query. I would like to explain in the following way.

Employee is working with company X on the projects of Company Y for some time (at the time of resignation, employee is not working on Comp Y projects). After some days Employee resigned Company X and got his reliving letters and all clearance and after few weeks he got offer from Company Y and joined.

Company X had taken over a division of Company Y, which this employee was previously working. But no documents/agreements or details were provided stating that employees should not work with company Y. And now the employee had joined a independent division of Company Y(another registration), which has its own existence.

And now Company X, started saying that it is illegal to join Comp Y, as this employee had once worked with Company Y through Company X. And according to X policies employes should not work with the companies that were X company clients whom the employee was involved in his tenure in Company X.

There is nothing in the offer letters, and terms and conditions about such rules, but the company X is saying that the employee had signed a document, and there employee dnt remember anything of such and there are no documents provided by company X regarding the same.

Thanks for your response.. But the Company X is sending a bit threatening mails, that is the reason of worry.. they are saying that it is illegal? could not ustd how it could be illegal, and even at the time of reliving no list was given or no agreements were made..
There were some cases where employes can work with almost 5 to 6 clients a year for Comp X. If all those to be avoided it is a career destroying for employees.
Other worry is if in future any company makes a background check and if company X would give a negative feedback then it would be a difficult thing. Employe has invested almost 6 years in the company X and it was his first company..

Many a times, when companies sign Service Contract with their clients for On-Site Engineers, they do put in a clause stating that the engineer would not be recruited by the client for a mutually agreed period of time, even after the engineer has quit the employer. This is done as a safeguard because the Vendor company spends time and money on the engineer to prepare him for on-site job, and it would be unfair if they did not get the Return on Investment (ROI). After the pre-determined period of time, the Engineer is free to join the client and the client is free to recruit the engineer, if they so wish.
Is this the scenario in your case?

Thanks for the response.
No, here it is not ONSITE. As mentioned earlier, the comp Y division in which employe working is taken over by Comp X, and employee was working on same projects for some time. Now employee got offer from Comp Y's other division. And for ONSITE engineers company asks to sign a bond of specified time period that employee should not quit till that time.
And in the case said by you, the companies are to discuss about the things and timelines rather than forcing the employees.. How would employe knw about their agreements. Employees are concerned with good growth, culture and opportunities.

Usually the agreement is between the Vendor company and Client company, that the Client Company "Will not hire" any employee from the vendor company during the contract period and the cooling-off period. When the Client Company has agreed not to hire, then no need for any agreement with employee. If the Client Company violates the contract unknowingly, then the Vendor company will send a notice to them to discharge the said employee of his duties, and the client company has to comply. But if they do not comply, then the Vendor Company can drag the Client company to court for violation. The employee, as a worst case scenario, will have to find another job.

Just inform the current company that the previous company is harassing them and also write back to the previous company that he will be forced to give a police complaint for harassment. And if it still persists, go ahead and give a police complaint. Once the police summons them and asks them under what grounds are they harassing, the guys will stop this harassment. Its even better if the cops are known to you. It helps.
