Latest Updates On Rajpal Yadav's Legal Case
On February 12, the Delhi High Court observed that Rajpal Yadav was sent to jail in a Rs 9 crore debt case after repeatedly failing to honour his commitments to settle unpaid dues. While hearing his bail plea related to a family wedding, Justice Swarana Kanta Sharma remarked, "You have gone to jail because you did not honour your own commitment."
The court also pointed out inconsistencies in the assurances made by Rajpal Yadav's legal counsel. Earlier, it was stated that the outstanding amount would be paid directly to the complainant, M/s Murali Projects Pvt Ltd. However, during a later hearing, the counsel submitted that the money would instead be deposited before the court.
The case has now been adjourned to Monday, February 16.
Rajpal Yadav surrendered at Delhi's Tihar Jail on February 5 after the High Court rejected his last-minute plea seeking more time to repay the dues. He was directed to serve a six-month sentence following repeated violations of court orders.
The dispute traces back to unpaid liabilities that arose after the failure of his 2012 film, Ata Pata Laapata. The dues eventually escalated to around Rs 9 crore. In February, the court noted that Rajpal Yadav was required to pay Rs 1.35 crore in each of the seven cases filed against him. It also ordered that the amount already deposited with the Registrar General be released to the complainant.
