Section 20 and 21 of the Code of Civil Procedure specifically bars the same.

If you file a suit in Delhi then the other party will object to the jurisdiction or may file a transfer petition in the SC.

though, a suit can be initiated in Delhi also

Order 37 of Civil Procedure Code: This order is a power given to the person who wants to recover his money. This order permits creditor to file a summary suit. This order comes under the speedier trial. Once the suit is filed and summoned. The defendant has only 10 days to defend the suit. If the defend does not show up, then the court accepts the plaintiff charges to be valid. Defendant can defend his suit by providing evidence and clearing the cross examination. If the court is satisfied that the credit it not taken by the defendant, then nothing will be given to the plaintiff but if it is proved by the plaintiff that the defendant has taken money or any material and not paying it then defendant has to pay money to the plaintiff and punishment can be served to the defendant.

Where there is a dispute in business, agreement or any other kind of civil dispute, then the suit may be instituted either,

1. In a place, where the defendant resides, or carries on business, or In a place, where the cause of action has arisen, i.e. where the dispute or wrong took place. It is well settled that a civil court has inherited power to decide its own jurisdiction. In dealing with the question whether a civil court’s jurisdiction to entertain a suit is barred or not, it is necessary to bear in mind that every presumption should be made in favor of the jurisdiction of a civil court. The exclusion of jurisdiction of a civil court to entertain civil causes should not be readily inferred unless the relevant statute contains an express provision to that effect, or leads to a necessary and inevitable implication of the nature.

Under section 9 of the civil procedure code the court shall have jurisdiction to try all suits of civil nature excepting suits of which cognizance is either expressly or impliedly barred. A statute, therefore, expressly or by necessary implication can bar the jurisdiction of civil courts in respect of a particular matter. The mere conferment of special jurisdiction on a tribunal in respect of the said matter does not in itself exclude the jurisdiction of civil courts. The statute may specifically provide for ousting the jurisdiction of civil courts; even if there was no such specific exclusion, if it creates liability not existing before and gives a special and particular remedy for the aggrieved party, the remedy provided by it must be followed. The same principle would apply if the statute had provided for the particular forum in which the remedy could be had. Even in such cases, the civil court’s jurisdiction is not completely ousted. A suit in a civil court will always lie to question the order of a tribunal created by statute, even if its order is, expressly or by necessary implication, made final, if the said tribunal abuses its power or does not act under the act but in violation of its provisions.

So you can file the case at Delhi where the cause of action aroused or at Haridwar where the defendant is residing or the specific place which mention in your contract with customer if any

Dear Concern, kindly note that your query is question of.jurisdiction in which you wish to pursue.your case. Since.this is a case of.delivery of.goods which is a domain of contract. On the.purchase order, on the receipt you sent to them along with bill will decide.the jurisdiction issue for.the recovery of money. Most of.the times documents in such transactions already have a jurisdiction clause to.decide.forum for.the.dispute.

If you have supplied and made the invoice at Delhi, then you can sue the customer at Delhi itself.

You collect the documentary evidences for the supply and then file a recovery suit at Delhi, but before that you may have to issue him a legal demand notice for this.
