Bombay HC quashes cheating proceedings initiated against Amazon India head

The Bombay High Court on Thursday quashed a criminal complaint and summons issued to Amazon India’s head Amit Agarwal by a magistrate’s court, following a complaint of cheating filed by a city-based lawyer.

Justice S K Shinde quashed the process or summon issued against Amazon India through its India head Amit Agarwal, by a magistrate’s court in Ulhasnagar of Thane district in August this year.

The magistrate’s court had issued the process following a complaint filed by lawyer Amritpal Singh Khalsa, who had placed an order for a hard drive on Amazon’s official website in December 2019, but never received it.
