Amazon challenges Delhi high court order in Supreme Court

Amazon.com Inc. has challenged a Delhi high court division bench order that allowed Kishore Biyani’s Future Group to proceed with an asset sale deal with Mukesh Ambani’s Reliance Industries Ltd (RIL).

In its plea in the Supreme Court, Amazon termed the division bench’s March 22 order as “illegal”, “random”, inequitable and unfair, requesting the apex court to prevent Amazon from suffering “irreparable” damage in its business in India. Mint has reviewed a copy of the special leave petition.

“The (Future) group had earlier unequivocally stated that they will continue to take steps to complete the impugned transaction (the ₹24,713 crore deal with RIL).
