KOCHI: Businessman Boby Chemmanur, who defied the legal system despite being granted bail, bowed his head with an unconditional apology after the High Court warned of revoking his bail to send him back to jail.

Despite getting bail in the case of sexually assaulting actress Honey Rose, Boby continued to remain in jail without signing the bond even though the release order came out on Tuesday evening. In the meanwhile, Boby became adamant that he would come out of jail only with another 26 inmates, facing financial shortage to pay for bail. This decision left the High Court fuming.

“A party who took the valuable time of court for urgent consideration of bail is acting according to his whims after getting bail’ the court remarked. On Wednesday, Justice P.V. Kunhikrishnan's bench considered the case three times. Boby came out of jail in a hurry at 9.50 am knowing that the court had taken up the case voluntarily. Even then, Boby told the media that he remained in jail to show solidarity with those who could not pay the amount.

Seeing this as a declaration of war against the judiciary, the High Court announced that the bail would be revoked if he did not tender an unconditional apology. This time, Boby did flinch and tendered an immediate apology.

Boby's lawyer assured the court that his client would not comment further on the matter and requested the apology be accepted. The lawyer stated in court that Boby had not intended to insult the court, but had a slip of the tongue when speaking to the media. Following this, the court accepted the apology and closed the case. Justice PV Kunhikrishnan reminded Boby's lawyer not to declare war on the court. The High Court also criticized Boby’s behaviour, saying that the businessman was acting like someone who won an Olympic medal.
