Supreme Court Gives Rajpal Yadav Relief in Cheque Bounce Case
What Happened
The Supreme Court granted actor Rajpal Yadav interim exemption from surrendering in seven cheque bounce cases, provided he deposits ₹5 crore with the court registry by the next day. The court issued notice on his plea challenging a Delhi High Court order that had upheld his conviction and sentence. The matter is scheduled for further hearing on September 15, 2026.
Key Takeaways
The relief is conditional and temporary. The Supreme Court has not stayed the conviction but has postponed Yadav's surrender requirement subject to the ₹5 crore deposit, while it examines his challenge to the Delhi High Court judgment in the cheque dishonour cases.
