Supreme Court Gives Rajpal Yadav Interim Relief In Cheque Bounce Cases, Sets Rs 5 Crore Condition

The Supreme Court gave him interim relief in seven cheque-bounce cases, but said he must deposit Rs 5 crore by tomorrow or return to jail.

  • On Tuesday, the Supreme Court granted interim relief to Actor Rajpal Yadav in his cheque bounce case, requiring him to deposit Rs 5 crore with the Supreme Court Registry by Wednesday to avoid imprisonment.
  • This legal battle stems from a cheque bounce case linked to unpaid dues from Rajpal's 2012 directorial venture, Ata Pata Laapata. The Delhi High Court previously upheld his conviction, sentencing him to three months in jail.
  • The court imposed a fine of Rs 1.05 crore in each of the seven cases, totaling Rs 7.35 crore. Failure to pay these fines could extend Rajpal's imprisonment to six months, though all sentences run concurrently.
  • Relief hinges on depositing Rs 5 crore, the Supreme Court clarified, protecting Rajpal from immediate imprisonment. Following his arrest, actors Salman Khan and Sonu Sood reportedly offered financial assistance to the actor.
  • Rajpal will remain protected from jail until September 15, when the Supreme Court hears the matter again. This interim relief arrives shortly before his surrender deadline was set to expire.
