"I respect the decision of the Supreme Court which is of&nbsp;the highest order. I still haven't received the court's&nbsp;letter. So, I cannot comment on that. It's a technical issue&nbsp;and I will refrain from commenting until I get the letter.&nbsp;Once I get it I will let you know how I feel about it," the&nbsp;actor told reporters.

The Supreme Court had yesterday advised Govinda to&nbsp;apologise to the fan who had lodged a complaint accusing the&nbsp;industry veteran of slapping and intimidating him while he was&nbsp;on a visit to the actor's film sets on January 16, 2008.
"We enjoy your films, but cannot tolerate you slapping&nbsp;somebody," a bench headed by Justice T S Thakur had said, while suggesting the actor to settle the dispute with&nbsp;complainant Santosh Rai.
The actor, 51, however, raised doubt behind Rai's&nbsp;intention, saying how can someone continue to fight the case&nbsp;for so many years without some backing.&nbsp;
"A man who has no family here, who has nobody here. He got&nbsp;so much support and he reached the place illegally. It's&nbsp;something to think about... Who is funding this... How's it&nbsp;possible without it? So many years? It doesn't seem normal. No&nbsp;fan can behave like this. This is for sure. Fans love the&nbsp;artists, they go out of the way to support them.&nbsp;The court has fixed February 9 as the next date of&nbsp;hearing on Rai's appeal.&nbsp;The high court, in 2013, had quashed Rai's private&nbsp;complaint lodged against Govinda before a metropolitan court&nbsp;in Mumbai.
Rai then appealed against the high court's decision in the&nbsp;apex court.

Bollywood star Govinda, who was asked by the Supreme Court to apologise to a fan for slapping him in 2008, has wondered who is financially&nbsp;backing the&nbsp;complainant, who has no family&nbsp;
