Future-RIL deal: Amazon moves Delhi HC’s division bench for relief

Amazon on Monday urged the division bench of the Delhi High Court to set aside “certain prima facie observations” in the single bench’s December 21 order that allowed Future Group to go ahead with its deal with Reliance Retail in accordance with Indian laws.

The matter will come up for hearing on Wednesday.

The single judge bench, while upholding the interim award by Singapore International Arbitration Centre in favour of Amazon as legal, had also declared the Future-RIL deal to be legal and left the final decision to the regulatory authorities before whom the deal is pending for final approval.
