BYJU’S founder Byju Raveendran has received temporary relief in Singapore, but the legal fight around him is still very much alive.
In a statement, his lawyers said the High Court had stayed the committal and surrender parts of a civil contempt order, so he is not required to surrender and no prison term is now taking effect while an appeal moves ahead.
J Michael McNutt, senior litigation adviser to Raveendran and the founders, said, “There was an absolutely incorrect public narrative created post the selective verbal leak of the earlier order by the Singapore Court falsely claiming an arrest warrant had been issued against Mr.
Raveendran.”
According to the statement, no arrest warrant was ever issued, and the earlier order would only have required Raveendran to appear on June 15.
