Supreme Court Stays Kerala HC Summons to EY Chief and Byju’s Resolution Professional in Contempt Case

The Supreme Court stayed a Kerala High Court order directing EY India Chairman Rajiv Memani and Byju’s Resolution Professional Shailendra Ajmera to appear in a contempt case linked to the attempted sale of Byju’s US subsidiaries.

The Bench asked how contempt could survive when the injunction allegedly violated was in force only between May 21 and May 27, before the Supreme Court varied it.

The Court noted that any breach had to fall within that limited period.

The High Court proceedings arose from a plea alleging violation of orders passed in an ongoing commercial dispute over the assets of Epic and Tangible Play.
