Mumbai, November 19: Kishore Biyani's Future Group filed a lawsuit against Amazon in Delhi HC in a bid to stop the US-based e-tailer from “misusing” the Singapore interim order and “interfering” in the Rs 24,713-crore Reliance-Future deal.

In a stock exchange filing on Saturday, Future Retail said it is seeking necessary relief from the court “against Amazon-.com NV Investment Holdings LLC from interfering with the transaction by misusing an interim order issued by an emergency arbitrator, appointed by the Singapore International Arbitration Centre (SIAC).” Reliance Retail Buys Future Group Businesses: Mukesh Ambani Owned RIL Announces Acquisition of Kishore Biyani Owned Retail Business For Rs 24,713 Crore.

According to a Times of India report, last month, Amazon had approached SIAC saying Future Retail had violated its contractual agreement by selling the retail assets of Future Group to Reliance. Amazon and Future had filed caveats in the high court against each other so that they would get a chance to present their case to the court before an interim order is given.
