Rajpal Yadav Surrenders After Delhi High Court Refuses Relief in Cheque Bounce Cases

Actor Rajpal Yadav surrendered before Tihar Jail authorities after the Delhi High Court declined to grant him further relief in multiple cheque-bounce cases.

The Court refused to extend the deadline for surrender, noting repeated non-compliance with undertakings to repay the complainant. 

Yadav had sought additional time, stating that ₹50 lakh had been arranged, but the Court held that leniency cannot be extended indefinitely merely due to a person’s status.

The case arises from bounced cheques issued to M/s Murali Projects Pvt Ltd. Yadav’s conviction, upheld by a sessions court in 2019, had earlier been temporarily suspended to explore settlement.
