The Delhi High Court upholds actor Rajpal Yadav’s conviction in multiple cheque-bounce cases linked to a reported Rs 9-crore loan-related dispute. Sources say the court rejects his and his wife Radha Yadav’s challenges to the trial court’s decision, and also dismisses arguments seeking relief through the legal process. The High Court sentences Yadav to three months’ imprisonment in each of seven cheque dishonour cases and denies probation. The court also directs compensation: he is ordered to pay more than ₹1 crore (reported as about ₹1.05 crore) to the complainant in each case, with accounts of fine-related adjustments connected to the wife mentioned by some reports. Multiple outlets report that settlement efforts are not accepted, and the long-running matter reaches a final outcome at the High Court stage after earlier proceedings at the sessions court. Times of India reports that Yadav has previously paid around Rs 4.25 crore to the complainant company. Other coverage notes he faces additional separate legal proceedings, including a loan dispute with a large outstanding amount. The actor is given time for compliance or further legal recourse, including appeal options.
