Rajpal Yadav Check Bounce Cases: The Delhi High Court has taken a tough stand against Bollywood actor Rajpal Yadav in a check bounce case. The High Court has ordered the actor to surrender before the Delhi High Court. Find out why?
The Delhi High Court has delivered a severe blow to the Bollywood actor Rajpal Yadav in the check bounce case. The High Court has asked the actor to surrender before the relevant jail authority by 4 p.m. on February 4, 2026.
According to PTI, Rajpal Yadav had borrowed approximately ₹5 crore from a company, M/s Murli Projects Private Limited. The company claims that Rajpal Yadav issued several checks to repay the money, but they all bounced. The company (M/s Murli Projects Private Limited) filed a check bounce case against Rajpal Yadav. These checks were issued for film production, but the money was not received.
The lower court had found him guilty and sentenced him to a six-month prison term. The High Court had earlier suspended the sentence, but he had to pay the company. He had promised to do so a number of times in court, but Rajpal Yadav had refused. The court had found that his conduct was extremely deplorable, and he was breaking the trust of the court.
The company filed a case under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act. Several settlements were reached in court, and Rajpal Yadav promised to pay the money (totaling approximately 2.5 crore rupees or equivalent), but he failed to do so on time. The court granted him several opportunities, but he broke his promise each time. Therefore, Justice Swaran Kanta Sharma, taking a firm stance, ruled that no further relief could be granted.
