Amazon India moves HC challenging summons issued to VP

Amazon India has recently approached the Bombay High Court challenging summons issued to its vice-president, Amit Agarwal, by the Thane magistrate court in Ulhasnagar earlier this month in connection to a criminal complaint filed by a lawyer over not receiving a product ordered from the e-commerce website.

Amazon India filed the plea seeking quashing of the complaint and magistrate’s order on August 26.

Ulhasnagar resident and lawyer Amritpal Singh Khalsa had moved court after he did not receive a hard drive worth Rs 3,999 in December 2019 despite raising grievances through emails. As per his plea, he approached the local police station first but the police refused to register an FIR on his complaint, compelling him to approach the magistrate court.
