Actor Rajpal Yadav Deposits ₹1.5 Crore for Bail
16 Feb
Summary
- Actor Rajpal Yadav received interim bail in a cheque bounce case.
- He deposited ₹1.5 crore to secure his temporary release.
- The Delhi High Court suspended his sentence until March 18.
On February 16, 2026, the Delhi High Court granted Bollywood actor Rajpal Yadav an interim suspension of his sentence concerning a cheque bounce case. This relief was contingent upon his deposit of ₹1.5 crore into the respondent's bank account. The court stipulated that he also submit a personal bond of ₹1 lakh, along with a surety of the same amount.
Yadav is permitted to remain out of custody until the subsequent court hearing scheduled for March 18, 2026. The significant deposit of ₹1.5 crore was a condition for this interim bail, which was sought to allow the actor to attend his niece's wedding on February 19, 2026.
The legal proceedings originate from a cheque bounce case where Yadav challenged his sentencing. He had been sentenced to three months' imprisonment for each of seven dishonored cheques, each for ₹1.5 crore, and ordered to pay a fine of ₹1.35 crore per cheque. Despite previous payments totaling ₹75 lakh, his failure to pay the outstanding balance led to court orders for his surrender, which he repeatedly sought to avoid.
