If the content in your invoice states Jurisdiction is Mumbai and if it is acknowledged by the buyer by way of seal or signature then the purchase order could be ignored since the sellers invoice would be the final

Dear Sir,

Still in this Case, Final Invoice is not ready, It mean sealer do not deliver the goods to buyer.

so dispute is arise before issue of Final invoice.

I think the Dispute it self is regarding Jurisdiction and you both have to decide it with mutual understandings

When jurisdiction is decipherable as concurrent of two or more courts then parties can agree to ONLY one court to have jurisdiction to vest in and such agreements are held valid so far.The crux is word 'ONLY'
