The Delhi High Court on Tuesday told India’s antitrust body it has two weeks to decide whether Amazon misled authorities while seeking approval for a 2019 deal with Future Group, said a group of retailers. Amazon and Future, India’s second-largest retailer, have been locked in a legal battle since last year. The e-commerce giant successfully blocked Future’s bid to sell its retail assets to rival Reliance for $3.4 billion, accusing its partner of breaching some pre-existing agreements.
