Rajpal Yadav Sentenced to Jail After Fresh High Court Ruling in Cheque Bounce Case
The court ordered Yadav to pay over Rs 1 crore in each of seven cases after loan defaults tied to his failed film project.
- On Friday, the Delhi High Court sentenced Bollywood actor Rajpal Yadav to three months' imprisonment, upholding his conviction in cheque-bounce cases involving non-payment of loans totaling nearly Rs 9 crore.
- The case originated in 2010 when Yadav borrowed Rs 5 crore from Murali Projects Pvt Ltd to finance his directorial debut, Ata Pata Laapata, which failed commercially at the Box Office, triggering legal action under the Negotiable Instruments Act.
- Justice Swarana Kanta Sharma directed Yadav to pay more than Rs 1 crore to the complainant in each of the seven complaints, with around Rs 2 crore already paid by the actor to be adjusted.
- Earlier this year, Yadav surrendered and received interim bail after depositing Rs 1.5 crore; the court granted him two months to approach the appellate court against the current decision.
- In a podcast with Shubhankar Mishra, Yadav claimed his case involves Rs 17 crore in incurred losses, stating, "This is exactly the point of my case, it's not about not being able to pay Rs 5 crore.
