An Indian court lifted an order restraining Future Group from selling its retail assets to Reliance Industries Ltd., in a setback to Amazon.com Inc.’s efforts to block the deal.

Delhi High Court on Monday allowed the sale of Future Retail Ltd.’s assets, overturning a previous order blocking the $3.4 billion transaction. The ruling can be appealed in India’s Supreme Court.
