The judge had also ordered attachment of their properties.The top court on August 6, delivered a judgment favouring Amazon by upholding Singapore EA's award, restraining the Rs 24,731 crore FRL-Reliance Retail merger deal is valid and enforceable under Indian arbitration laws.Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
