The Future Group’s lawyer on the other hand has agreed to speak to Amazon and solve the ongoing issue. The judges holding the hearing stressed that two sides could take ten days to reach a possible solution.

Amazon had managed to block Future’s $3.4 billion asset directed towards the Indian rival Reliance for two years. It did so citing the breach of specific contracts. However, despite the allegations, the future group denies any such wrongdoing but the upper hand remains to be with the United States based company.
