Setback for Future Group as Delhi HC rejects pleas to quash Amazon arbitration

The Delhi High Court on Tuesday dismissed future group petitions who tried to cancel the arbitration process initiated by Amazon in Singapore.

In its request, the future coupons have asked the High Court to cancel the trial on the grounds that the Indian competition watchdog has suspended Amazon’s agreement in the future.

Justice Amit Bansal said that the submission was dismissed, without providing further details. The written task will be released lately on Tuesday.

The Delhi High Court has heard this problem and ordered orders yesterday. Towards the verdict, retail shares in the future rose 3.6% to close on ₹ 51.80 on NSE.

At present, the dispute between the future group and Amazon is underway in the Singapore Arbitration panel, but both parties have fought parallel cases in various courts to enforce or ignore certain decisions taken by the Arbitrator.

On December 18, CCI in its order has suspended his approval for the Amazon agreement with the Coupon in the Future Ltd and asked the US-department to provide additional documents.

The CCI has imposed a fine of ₹ 200 crores on US giants for allegedly making “wrong and wrong statements” while looking for approval for the agreement between himself and the coupons in the future.

Mapping Rohatgi, a senior adviser who represented a coupon in the future told the court that according to the law, an arbitrator had to end the trial if it had become unnecessary.

Added that the company had approached the court for termination of the process after the December anti-trust order order.

Rohatgi argues that the international arbitration court acts in a ‘misguided’ and that it has not given any orders in this matter.

On the other hand, Senior Advisor Salve Harish Salve on behalf of the Future Ltd said that retail in the future does not need to be dragged in this problem even when the company staggered under the pressure of bankruptcy.
