Byju Raveendran’s legal team has issued a clarification after media reports suggested that the Byju’s founder had failed in an attempt to overturn a Singapore court order that sentenced him to six months in jail.
The statement argued that those reports blur the distinction between two separate legal proceedings and said the substantive appeal against a civil contempt finding has not yet been heard.
According to the statement, the Singapore High Court hearing on July 9 was limited to an application seeking a temporary stay of an earlier civil contempt order while an appeal is considered by the Singapore Court of Appeal.
The High Court declined that stay application, but did not rule on the underlying appeal, which remains pending.
The clarification was issued after reports stated that Raveendran had lost a bid to overturn the order.
