Cheque-bounce cases: Supreme Court gives Rajpal Yadav last chance of two weeks to deposit ₹2 crore
The Supreme Court of India has granted actor Rajpal Yadav a final two-week window to deposit ₹2 crore as part of a settlement in a long-standing cheque-bounce case. The court expressed dissatisfaction with his previous compliance but allowed the extension to prove his bona fide intentions.
Why it matters
It highlights the judicial process regarding financial accountability and the enforcement of legal settlements in high-profile cases.
The Supreme Court on Tuesday (September 15, 2026) gave the last opportunity of two weeks to actor Rajpal Yadav to come out with a concrete proposal to pay an outstanding amount to a private firm and directed him to deposit ₹2 crore with the Supreme Court registry.
The complainant alleged that, in 2013, Rajpal Yadav tendered seven cheques of ₹1.05 crore each towards settlement of financial assistance of ₹5 crore to him for a film in 2010. The cheques were dishonoured, the firm further alleged.
According to the complainant, an agreement between the parties in 2012 stated that Yadav, his wife and their company had agreed to repay around ₹11 crore, including interest.
