Rajpal Yadav’s counsel told the court that he had gone to the Courts’ Registry to make the payment, but RTGS was not permissible
SC orders Rajpal to deposit Rs 2Cr in cheque bounce case: The Supreme Court on Wednesday directed actor Rajpal Yadav to deposit Rs 2 crore in a cheque bounce case by October 13, 2026. The court said it would consider his plea challenging the Delhi High Court order after the payment is made.
A bench of Chief Justice of India (CJI) Surya Kant, and Justices Joymalya Bagchi and V Mohana directed Yadav to deposit Rs 2 crore towards the amount due to the complainant by October 13. The court said it would consider Yadav’s plea challenging the Delhi High Court order, which had convicted him and sentenced him to three months in jail for failing to repay a loan from a private party, after the outstanding payment is made.
Yadav’s counsel told the court that he had gone to the Courts’ Registry to make the payment, but RTGS was not permissible. He therefore brought the Rs 1.15 crore demand draft. On the remaining Rs 85 lakh, counsel said the buyer of Yadav’s property was present and would make the payment.

The court made it clear that the extensions were being granted only to secure payment to the complainant and warned Yadav over his conduct.’Law should not be utilised like this’, it said.
The case arises from an alleged loan extended to Yadav by Murli Projects Pvt Ltd in 2010 for Ata Pata Laapata. Seven repayment cheques of ₹1.05 crore each were subsequently dishonored.
