Amazon moves HC division Bench against observations in Future case

Amazon has moved the division Bench of the Delhi High Court against a single-judge December 21 judgment, challenging an observation that Future Retail had on two counts been able to prove that there was “prima facie case of tortious interference by Amazon”, two sources in the know of the development told The Indian Express. The case is likely to be listed for hearing this week, one of the sources said.

In its December 21 judgment, a single-judge bench of the High Court had refused to restrain Amazon from writing to the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi), Competition Commission of India (CCI) or other statutory bodies against the Future Retail Limited- Reliance Retail and Lifestyle Limited deal.
