As reported by a media outlet, the judge cautioned Yadav, stating, “Never assume that a judge is lenient just because they are cordial.” The actor's counsel argued against the necessity of settling the dues, citing Yadav's previous imprisonment. However, Yadav expressed his willingness to pay the owed amount. The judge remarked that if Yadav was indeed prepared to settle, there was no reason for the case to persist, urging him to proceed with the payment. During the proceedings, Yadav requested 30 days to gather Rs 6 crore to resolve the issue, but the court denied this request.

The judge firmly stated, “No means no. I will reserve my judgement. No further time will be granted.” It is important to note that Rajpal Yadav is currently on bail, with the next hearing scheduled for tomorrow (April 3).

Background of the Cheque Bounce Case

About Rajpal Yadav Cheque Bounce Case

In May 2024, a sessions court found Rajpal Yadav guilty in a cheque bounce case, resulting in a six-month prison sentence. The Delhi High Court later suspended this sentence after his lawyer assured that Yadav would resolve the matter promptly. However, he failed to meet his obligations. Consequently, in February 2026, the Delhi HC ordered him to surrender due to non-compliance, rejecting his request for additional time. He surrendered to Tihar Jail on February 5 and remained incarcerated until he obtained an interim suspension of his sentence by depositing Rs 1.5 crore. Several Bollywood colleagues showed their support for him during this time. Following this, Yadav returned to work on his upcoming projects. Professionally, he is set to appear in Akshay Kumar’s Bhooth Bangla, directed by Priyadarshan, although the film's release has been delayed. Paid previews are expected to commence on April 16 at 9 pm. Stay tuned for further updates!
