Actor Rajpal Yadav has secured relief from the Delhi High Court, extending his interim bail until April 1 in a ₹9 crore debt and cheque bounce case. The actor's lawyer revealed that Rajpal is preparing to fight the case legally, choosing to argue the matter in court instead of going for a settlement.
The Delhi High Court declined to vacate its earlier order granting an interim suspension of sentence to Rajpal Yadav in cheque-bouncing cases and extended the relief till April 1. Rajpal Yadav's lawyer, SK Sharma, addressed the media outside the court and shed light on the actor's strategy for the next hearing.
The case traces back to 2010, when Rajpal borrowed ₹5 crore from Delhi-based Murali Projects Pvt Ltd to fund his directorial debut, Ata Pata Laapata (2012). The film's commercial failure led to heavy losses and a financial dispute. In 2018, a magisterial court convicted the actor for cheque dishonour under the Negotiable Instruments Act, sentencing him to six months' imprisonment — a decision upheld by a sessions court in 2019. The amount due eventually rose to nearly ₹9 crore.
