Delhi High Court Reserves Verdict in Rajpal Yadav's Rs 9 Crore Debt Case, Actor Makes Emotional Plea The Delhi High Court has reserved its verdict in the long-standing legal dispute involving actor Rajpal Yadav, who faces a Rs 9 crore debt case. The actor, who was previously incarcerated in Tihar Jail over a cheque bounce case, made an emotional plea during the latest hearing, which took place on April 2. Despite multiple attempts to reach a settlement and sustained judicial intervention, the court could not resolve the matter, leading to the reservation of its judgment. The case, which has drawn significant public attention, centers on a financial dispute between Yadav and Murali Projects Pvt Ltd, a Delhi-based entity. The actor was initially convicted under the Negotiable Instruments Act in 2018 for dishonoring a cheque, resulting in a six-month jail sentence. This ruling was later upheld by a sessions court in 2019. Over time, the outstanding amount grew to nearly Rs 9 crore, primarily due to the failure of his 2012 film Ata Pata Laapata, which underperformed at the box office and led to significant financial losses. During the hearing, Justice Swarana Kanta Sharma, who presided over the case, expressed frustration with Yadav’s inconsistent stance on repaying the debt. The judge remarked, “I am not getting my answers. The undertaking said something else, and now you are saying something else,” highlighting the lack of clarity in the actor’s financial obligations. Advocate Avneet Singh Sikka, representing the complainant, argued that Yadav had already accepted his conviction and could not now avoid liability. He pointed out that a revision petition filed in 2024 was delayed by 1894 days without sufficient justification, further complicating the case.#delhi_high_court #rajpal_yadav #murali_projects_pvt_ltd #negotiable_instruments_act #tihar_jail
