This means further delay for the cash-strapped Big Bazaar parent Future Group, which had announced the sale of its assets to Reliance Retail for Rs 24,700 crore.

Initially, slated to be held on November 10 and 11, FRL's shareholder meeting was deferred to a later date this month after FRL approached the NCLT for the same. In September, the NCLT had allowed FRL to hold the meetings.
