The Supreme Court on Tuesday adjourned the hearing in the Amazon-Future Retail case to December 8. Chief Justice N.V. Ramana told the parties to file short compilations for the consideration of the court and castigated them for filing as many as 21-23 volumes.

The court was dealing with two separate leave petitions filed by Future Coupons and Future Retail Ltd against an earlier Delhi high court single judge order directing attachment of the companies’ properties and those of its promoter Kishore Biyani.

The employees of Future Retail have now asked the Supreme Court to allow the company to sell its assets and rule against Amazon in an ongoing dispute, citing risks to 27,000 jobs.
