- ✓The Supreme Court of India ordered Bollywood actor Rajpal Yadav to deposit at least Rs 2 crore within two weeks in a cheque‑bounce case, extending his protection from arrest until the next hearing.
- ✓The court also extended the earlier protection from arrest until the hearing scheduled for October 5, while directing the actor to surrender his passport.
- ✓Yadav is accused of owing Rs 5 crore to the proprietor of Murali Productions, a private film‑production house.
The Supreme Court on Tuesday granted actor Rajpal Yadav a final opportunity to place a minimum of Rs 2 crore with the court registry, linking the order to a pending cheque‑bounce dispute involving a private complainant.
A bench led by Chief Justice of India Surya Kant noted that Yadav’s earlier behaviour in the matter failed to inspire confidence, yet allowed a two‑week window after his counsel assured the court of the partial payment and a surety for the balance. The court also extended the earlier protection from arrest until the hearing scheduled for October 5, while directing the actor to surrender his passport.
Yadav is accused of owing Rs 5 crore to the proprietor of Murali Productions, a private film‑production house. The case underscores the intersection of entertainment industry finances with judicial oversight, and the ruling may affect other high‑profile individuals facing similar financial litigations.
