Plea seeks ban on sale of Shein’s products by Amazon; HC issues notice to Centre

The Delhi High Court on Friday issued notice to the Centre and Amazon on a petition seeking a ban on the sale of Shein’s products by Amazon in India.

Shein, a Chinese online retail brand for women’s clothing and accessories, was banned by the Centre last year. However, the petition states that Amazon has announced a sale of Shein’s products on its website during the ‘prime day’ sale scheduled between July 26-27.

The division bench of Chief Justice D N Patel and Justice Jyoti Singh, while granting time to the Centre and Amazon for filing their responses in the case, listed the matter for next hearing on August 20. However, the court declined to pass any order to suspend the sale scheduled next week.
