Eminent lawyer Harish Salve said in Delhi High Court on Thursday that Amazon has deliberately mischaracterised the Future Retail Limited (FRL) suit in a manner to confuse the court. Salve said this in his rejoinder in the FRL suit against Amazon before Delhi HC on Thursday. Salve read various paras of the pliant which narrates all the facts that established how Amazon is trying to stultify FRL's efforts to salvage its current crisis. Amazon's attempt in writing various letters to authorities on the back of an Emergency Arbitrator's Interim Award (by purporting it as an order of court, while it is not) by itself gives adequate cause of action.

Salve argued that in such circumstances, FRL is absolutely entitled to injunctory reliefs under the suit. As regards the transaction with Reliance, there's a scheme which proposes to demerge certain FRL entities as a first step before the proposed slump sale to Reliance, and it would suffice to give the details thereof and there's no need to provide any agreement etc., Salve argued. It is Amazon's own case that there's a transaction to which FRL is a party, and that is in breach of the FCPL SHA, warranting them to initiate the unlawful arbitration process.
