Delhi HC Reserves Judgment in Rajpal Yadav Case: Actor's Lawyer Cites 'Losses Mounting to ₹17 Crore Due to Film’
The court explored a Rs 6 crore settlement and noted repeated missed payments in a dispute that now carries nearly Rs 9 crore in liability.
- On Thursday, the Delhi High Court reserved its verdict in a cheque bounce case involving actor Rajpal Yadav, concerning an outstanding debt owed to Murli Projects Private Limited.
- This dispute originated in 2010 when Yadav borrowed Rs 5 crore to finance his directorial venture 'Ata Pata Laapata'; the film underperformed, leading to a 2018 conviction and six months in jail.
- Representing the complainant, advocate Avneet Singh Sikka argued that Yadav still owes Rs 7.75 crore, while Yadav claimed he has already paid Rs 17 crore and sold five flats.
- Justice Swarana Kanta Sharma rejected Yadav's request for 30 days to pay Rs 6 crore, stating 'no means no,' as the actor resisted settlement offers.
- Previously, the court directed Yadav to surrender in February 2026, granting interim relief only after he deposited Rs 1.5 crore; the upcoming verdict will determine remaining payment obligations.
