Maruti Udyog Ltd. vs Commissioner Of Central Excise, ... on 30 July, 2002
There cannot be any dispute that there is a principal to principal
relationship shared between the manufacturer and dealer . The same was
reflected upon by the Honble National Commission in
Maruthi Udyog Ltd. vs. Arjun Singh III (2009) CPJ 22, wherein it was held that when the relationship between the
manufacturer and dealer is not principal to principal basis, the manufacturer
cannot be held for the acts of the dealers. Therefore, no deficiency of service can be fastened on the opposite party no.3.
