The Supreme Court on Monday issued a notice to Future Retail and Reliance on a plea by Amazon against Delhi High Court’s order to maintain status quo on RIL-Future deal. The top court also allowed the NCLT to proceed in deal to go on but directed the tribunal to refrain from passing final orders on the amalgamation.

Amazon and Future have locked horns after the e-commerce giant took the Future Group to arbitration at SIAC, that the latter has violated the agreement, which barred it from dealing with RIL in any manner.
