Mahindra & Mahindra has suffered a minor setback in a US as District Court has upheld the lawsuit filed by the Indian company's American dealers.
A local judge has allowed the case to move forward.
Mahindra & Mahindra had moved to dismiss the lawsuit alleging fraud, misrepresentation and conspiracy by US auto dealers last June.
M&M is fighting a legal battle with its American dealers over the launch of its first ever passenger vehicle product in the US market.
Last year, local dealers filed a suit against M&M alleging that the company misled them into believing that it was planning to roll out a new truck brand for the US market.
