Future deal: SC to hear on July 20 Amazon plea against HC verdict

Senior advocate Gopal Subramanian, appearing for the e-commerce giant, said he had no problem if the hearing on the appeals was adjourned by a week

The Supreme Court on Thursday said it would hear on July 20 the Amazon plea against the Delhi High Court verdict that stayed the directive by its single-judge and paved the way for the multi-billion dollar deal to amalgamate Future Retail (FRL) with Reliance Retail.

A Bench of Justices R F Nariman, K M Joseph and B R Gavai was informed by senior advocate Harish Salve, appearing for the Future group, that a Singapore tribunal will commence hearing on the issue from July 12 and requested that the proceedings on the appeals be adjourned for a week.
