India’s Future Group will challenge a New Delhi court order that has blocked its $3.4 billion retail assets sale on objections of business partner Amazon.com Inc, a source told Reuters on February 3.

An Indian court blocked Future Group’s sale of a swathe of assets to rival Reliance Industries on February 2 after Amazon raised objections to the deal, in a battle of the retail titans that could reshape the shopping sector.

The appeal against that order is set to be filed later on February 3 in the court, the source said, declining to be identified.
