Rajpal Yadav Bail Hearing Highlights: Delhi HC adjourns case to Monday, seeks reply on bail application

All updates to this blog have ended. 

Rajpal Yadav's bail hearing was resumed again at 2.30 pm where actor’s counsel told the bench, “II tried contacting him but wasn't able to. I have filed a bail application. Response from the other side may be sought. The case may be adjourned to Monday. I will come up with something by then." The court then adjourned the case to Monday. The court asked the complainant to file a reply to the bail application and said, "When I was going through the file, there were so many things we didn’t even know. They have challenged the first order before the Supreme Court, and the Supreme Court did not grant them any relief. Anyway, we will take it up on Monday."

The Delhi High Court is set to resume Rajpal Yadav's bail hearing in the cheque-bounce case shortly. The matter was adjourned, and the judge asked the counsel to finalise their position. The hearing is scheduled to continue at 2:30 PM.

Justice Sharma told Rajpal Yadav’s counsel to decide their stance and the bail hearing to resume at 2.30 PM.

According to Bar and Bench, during the hearing, the court noted that Rajpal Yadav and his lawyer had previously assured that the owed money would be paid to the complainant. However, the court observed that today, his lawyers are stating they will deposit the amount before the court. Justice Sharma told Yadav's counsel to finalise their stance, adding that the matter will be taken up again at 2:30 PM today.

The Delhi High Court said, "We may have sympathy for you, but the law is the law. You did not surrender despite the court's order… and only surrendered when the court issued the order again." Rajpal Yadav's lawyer requested interim bail so that the actor could attend his elder brother's daughter's wedding. His lawyer assured the court that Yadav is ready to deposit the remaining amount and has received support from the Bollywood industry and others.

After Sonu Sood, Salman Khan, Ajay Devgn, Varun Dhawan, renowed Indian singer and musician Anup Jalota pledges Rs 5 lakh for Rajpal Yadav.

As reported by Bar and Bench, the court told the actor, "You have gone to jail because you didn’t honour your own commitment." 

The Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE) also extended its support to Rajpal Yadav and urged the film fraternity to stand by the Hera Pheri actor during this difficult time. In a statement, FWICE said, "Members and well-wishers willing to offer monetary assistance may contribute directly to Shri Rajpal Yadav or route their support through FWICE.

In an interview with news agency PTI, Rajpal Yadav’s wife, Radha Yadav, thanked everyone who had reached out to them. She said, "Everybody has stood by him. The industry has been supportive, a big thank you to everyone who is coming out to help."

Co-founder of Yes Madam, Mayank Arora, also extended his support to Rajpal Yadav following Sonu Sood’s request. On his X handle, he quote-tweeted Sonu Sood’s post and wrote, "Seconded @SonuSood. Even brands should come forward to help the the great talent. @Rajpalofficial will also be a part of an ad film @_yesmadam ! Have already aligned the team on it. #ComeBackStronger (sic)." 

Rajpal Yadav made his directorial debut with the 2012 film Ata Pata Laapata. To fund the project, he borrowed Rs 5 crore from Murali Projects Pvt Ltd. Unfortunately, the film failed at the box office, causing financial strain for the actor. The Hindi comedy-drama earned just Rs 42 lakh.

Taking to his X handle, Sonu Sood urged industry colleagues, directors, and producers to come forward and help Rajpal Yadav. He wrote, "Rajpal Yadav is a gifted actor who has given years of unforgettable work to our industry. Sometimes life turns unfair, not because of talent, but because timing can be brutal. He will be part of my film, and I believe this is the moment for all of us..producers, directors, colleagues to stand together. A small signing amount, adjustable against future work, is not charity, it’s dignity. When one of our own is going through a tough phase, the industry must remind him he’s not alone. This is how we show we are more than just an industry (sic)." 

Singer Mika Singh has come forward to help actor and comedian Rajpal Yadav by contributing Rs 11 lakh for his cheque-bounce case. On Wednesday night, the singer shared a video on his Instagram handle and wrote, "I'm truly happy and proud after my post. It feels amazing to see everyone coming together  this is the unity our industry is known for. But I have one humble request  please don't just post announcements. Let's make sure we actually contribute and make it happen. Many people are asking where to send the money. Let's organise this properly and transparently so everything goes directly to the right place. Support is not just about words it's about action. Let's stand united and do this the right way (sic)."

For the unversed, Rajpal Yadav borrowed Rs 5 crore from Murali Projects Pvt Ltd to fund his directorial film Ata Pata Laapata in 2010. However, the film didn't do well at the box office, making it difficult for Yadav to pay back the loan. As a result, several cheques he had issued bounced, leading to legal action under the Negotiable Instruments Act.

The Delhi High Court will hear Rajpal Yadav's petition in the decade-long Rs 5 crore cheque-bounce case. The actor had surrendered at Delhi’s Tihar Jail on February 5, 2026.
