A Bench of Justices Vikram Nath and Sandeep Mehta also set aside the Competition Commission of India’s (CCI) order dated 17 December 2021, which fined Amazon ₹202 million and suspended its agreement with Future.

“In view of the above findings, the appeal is allowed. The impugned judgment dated June 13, 2022 passed by the NCLAT and the order dated December 17, 2021 passed by the CCI are set aside,” Justice Nath said while pronouncing the verdict.

The Supreme Court said that if any amount was deposited or recovered from Amazon under these orders, it should be refunded within eight weeks.

The bench delivered its verdict on a plea filed by Amazon challenging the NCLAT’s June 2022 order.
