Live Rajpal Yadav Bail Hearing LIVE: Delhi HC to hear actor's petition in cheque-bounce case today

The Delhi High Court will hear Rajpal Yadav's petition in the cheque-bounce case on Thursday, February 12, 2026.

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.
