Supreme Court Gives Rajpal Yadav Final Chance to Deposit Rs 2 Crore in Cheque Bounce Case
The Supreme Court of India reprimanded actor Rajpal Yadav for failing to deposit Rs 2 crore as part of a Rs 5 crore payment in multiple cheque bounce cases involving M S Murli Projects Pvt Ltd. Despite repeated court orders and a deadline extension, Yadav did not comply, submitting only a Rs 50 lakh demand draft copy, which the court questioned. The bench, led by Chief Justice Surya Kant, warned that Yadav's place was in jail but gave him a final chance to pay by October 6, with the next hearing scheduled for October 7. The court expressed concern for the complainant's recovery and considered dismissing Yadav's appeal.
