Rajpal Yadav sentenced to a few months in jail in cheque bounce case; Delhi HC cites repeated defaults<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Aside from the jail term, the High Court ordered the actor to pay Rs 1.05 crore in each of the seven cases. His wife, Radha Rajpal Yadav, was also directed to pay a nice of greater than \u20b95 lakh in each matter.<\/p>\n Throughout the proceedings, the court noted that Yadav had been given several opportunities to resolve the dispute and clear the outstanding dues but did not fulfil the assurances made before the court. Explaining the choice, Justice Sharma observed, “Opportunities were granted to honour the settlement. He [Yadav] and his counsel made several statements and assurances, and despite these repeated opportunities and assurances, he did not honour the undertakings.”<\/p>\n The judge also granted Yadav two months to challenge the order before a better court.<\/p>\n The legal dispute has been ongoing for greater than two years. In May 2024, a sessions court had convicted Yadav in a cheque bounce case and sentenced him to 6 months’ imprisonment.<\/p>\n The Delhi High Court later suspended that sentence after the actor’s legal team assured the court that the matter can be settled amicably. The dispute was subsequently referred to the Delhi High Court Mediation Centre in an attempt to achieve a resolution.<\/p>\n Nonetheless, despite multiple adjournments and repeated assurances, the settlement didn’t materialise. The High Court observed that Yadav did not deposit several amounts that he had undertaken to pay, including Rs 2.5 crore, for which he had sought permission to make payments in instalments.<\/p>\n In February 2026, the High Court directed Yadav to give up before jail authorities after finding that he had did not comply with its earlier directions. His request searching for additional time to give up was also rejected.<\/p>\n The actor eventually surrendered on February 5 and remained in custody until he was granted interim suspension of sentence after depositing Rs 1.5 crore with the complainant.<\/p>\n Also Read:\u00a0Rajpal Yadav faces fresh legal heat: Delhi High Court reserves verdict in Rs. 6 crores cheque bounce dispute<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Catch us for up to date Bollywood News, Recent Bollywood Movies update, Box office collection, Recent Movies Release , Bollywood News Hindi, Entertainment News, Bollywood Live News Today & Upcoming Movies 2026 and stay updated with latest hindi movies only on Bollywood Hungama.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Delhi High Court on Friday sentenced actor Rajpal Yadav to a few months’ easy imprisonment in a cheque bounce case after observing that he repeatedly did not honour settlement commitments made before the court.
