The Delhi High Court upholds actor Rajpal Yadav’s conviction in multiple cheque-bounce cases and sentences him to three months in jail. Sources report that the judgment dismisses petitions challenging the trial court’s decision and follows a prolonged dispute arising from alleged dishonour of cheques linked to a debt/loan matter described as reaching around Rs 9 crore. The court, led by Justice Swarana Kanta Sharma, directs Rajpal Yadav to pay compensation in each of the seven complaints. The compensation is reported as over ₹1 crore per case, with totals cited as about ₹1.05 crore per complaint in one report. The court also rejects settlement efforts and does not grant immediate relief to the actor after a failed attempt to resolve the dues in court. Earlier, reports state that Rajpal Yadav had paid approximately Rs 4.25 crore to the complainant company. The articles also note the existence of other related legal proceedings, including a separate loan dispute with a large outstanding amount, though details differ by outlet. The actor’s next steps, including whether he will challenge the High Court decision, are reported as unclear at the time of publication.
