Cheque-Bounce Cases: SC Gives Rajpal Yadav Last Chance of Two Weeks to Deposit Rs 2 Crore
The bench called it a final opportunity and asked him to file a repayment plan after the actor’s earlier convictions in seven cheque-bounce cases.
- On Tuesday, the Supreme Court granted Actor Rajpal Yadav a final two-week window to deposit Rs 2 crore and submit a concrete repayment proposal to Murli Projects Private Limited regarding his cheque-bounce dispute.
- The legal battle stems from seven dishonoured cheques tendered in 2013 toward a Rs 5 crore film financing agreement from 2010, with the complainant alleging an outstanding repayment obligation of Rs 11 crore including interest.
- Previously, the Delhi High Court upheld Yadav's conviction in the cheque-bounce cases, sentencing him to three months in prison, while ordering his wife, Radha Rajpal Yadav, to pay fines in connection with the matter.
- A bench led by Chief Justice Surya Kant, alongside Justices Joymalya Bagchi and V Mohana, extended Yadav's exemption from surrendering until October 5 and directed him to deposit his passport with the court.
- Senior advocate Patwalia, representing the actor, sought the two-week timeframe to demonstrate good faith by depositing Rs 2 crore, with the court scheduling the next hearing for October 5 to evaluate the repayment proposal.
