The Singapore High Court has rejected Byju Raveendran’s plea to suspend his six-month jail sentence for contempt of court. The decision means the Byju’s founder may face imprisonment if he returns to Singapore without further legal relief. Raveendran continues to deny violating any court orders.
The High Court of Singapore has rejected a plea by Byju's founder Byju Raveendran to suspend a six-month jail sentence for contempt, dealing another legal setback to the embattled edtech entrepreneur and effectively preventing him from returning to the city-state unless he is prepared to serve the prison term.
According to reports, the Singapore High Court has dismissed Raveendran's application to stay the sentence.
The jail term was originally imposed in May for contempt of court, with a temporary stay granted last month pending his appeal.
With the latest ruling, Raveendran will be unable to enter Singapore without facing the six-month sentence unless he secures further legal relief.
