Actor Rajpal Yadav Fails Final Plea, To Surrender Today
5 Feb
Summary
- Delhi High Court dismissed Rajpal Yadav's plea to postpone jail surrender.
- Yadav will surrender at Tihar Jail today to serve sentence in cheque bounce case.
- Court denied extension citing past non-compliance and broken assurances.
Bollywood actor Rajpal Yadav's bid to postpone his surrender in a long-standing cheque bounce case was dismissed by the Delhi High Court on Thursday. The actor is scheduled to surrender at Tihar Jail later today to commence his jail term.
Yadav, present in court, sought additional time to settle outstanding payments owed to Murli Projects Private Limited. However, the bench refused his plea, highlighting prior leniency and Yadav's failure to meet previous court-ordered assurances.
The conviction stems from a May 2024 sentence of six months' imprisonment for a cheque bounce offense. An earlier suspension of the sentence by the High Court, pending settlement, ultimately failed.
The court previously directed Yadav to surrender within two days after rejecting his explanations for payment delays. His counsel confirmed his surrender today, after which he may pursue further legal relief.
