The High Court of Singapore declined a stay on the six-month jail sentence of Byju Raveendran, meaning the founder of the failed education startup risks going to prison if he returns to the city-state.
The court on July 9 ruled against Raveendran’s application to have the sentence halted, his law firm Lazareff Le Bars said in a statement Tuesday. The court originally pronounced the sentence, for contempt, in May, and then granted a stay on it last month until the next hearing.
