On Friday, the Delhi High Court issued notice to Centre and Amazon on a petition seeking a ban on the sale of Shein’s products by Amazon in India.
However, the Court declined to pass any order to suspend the sale scheduled next week.
The petitioner Ananttika Singh said, “due to the sale of Shein products on its platform, the Chinese brand would have access to personal and sensitive data of several millions of Indian citizens”.
In case Shein is not prohibited from selling its products via the ‘prime sale’, the petition argued, it could “severely impinge on the integrity and sovereignty of this nation”, she further added.
