I work for a company in Oman ,in sales . We received an order for supply of electric cables based on a quote from a delhi based manufacturer .We paid an advance amount to the company .Promised delivery was by mid december 2016 in Oman . Last 5 months or so we have been chasing the company for delivery of ordered goods or return of advance paid . Now the end customer whom we have deliver has informed us that they are no longer willing to wait as these materials are required for their shut down in April 2017 The company who has to deliver the goods mostly dont answer the phone , respond to mails . They once in a while make some commitments and then once again go into no response kind of situation Hence we want to explore the optiona of filing a case against the manufacturer for recovery of advance Pls advise how to move forward. Do we need to file the case in delhi as the manufacturer is based in delhi or else can we file the case against them in any Kerala court as both me and our management are from Kerala
