Sir
I was appointed a dealer at Sangrur in punjab by a tractor company whose head office was in delhi and manafacturing unit in Faridabad to sell tractors and spares in june 1999. In Jan 2000 all of a sudden supply of tractors was stopped. I wrote letters to supply tractors but the company did not reply my letters inspite of the fact that I had sent advance money for tractors. No formal agreement for dealership was made only a letter of appointment was sent and dealer code was also assigned. A new dealer was appointed without my knowledge and I wrote to the company about that and again no reply was received. Feeling agrieved I filed a suit at sangrur for recovery of my advance money.The suit was decreed and thier appeal at session was dismissed An RSA was filed in High court which was also dismissed.in Mar 2011. I have received the whole amount with interest now.The appelate courts have taken into account all the relevant points in deciding this case in my favour.At the trial court a plea for compensation was made but it was rejected as no expenses were given as record pertaining to company running expenses. My question is now can I file a suit for damages for closing down my business and goodwill and other losses.Can I take the plea of breach of contract. Where can I file this case as The registered of my company is at Patiala
Please guide as I have suffered losses and I have been virtually thrown out of business.Please take care of limitation part also
Thanks

In the absence of any written agreement, you may just be wasting your money and time in your fruitless efforts.
You may however try to take up another agency of some rival company to set up your competitive business instead of wasting your time and money in beating the bush.
