Hello Sir/Madam,
I am a small dealer for packaged drinking water, I am doing business independently. as I am dealer I have to keep my profit of margin to run business, but from last one year I am facing big problems from manufactures (compilation). they are supplying the products direct to customers, and giving under quoat. its affect me and I am loosing my valuable business. I cant do anything as manufacturers are giving more discounts. now I am in very bad condition.
Please advice me what to do ? is any law applicable to stop the manufacture to direct supplies?

Mr.Kadam,
There is no such law, to stop manufacturer from making direct supplies to the customers. Though I am sure, you won't be having any such contract/agreement, yet on hypothetical side, if you are having such contract/agreement with manufacturer, preventing him to make direct supplies, you can take action to claim damages etc., but only against those manufacturer you are having such contract,agreement with, else. just sit, relax and work out your options to compete with said direct supplies.
