Bollywood’s iconic comedian Rajpal Yadav, known for films like Bhool Bhulaiyaa, Hera Pheri, Hungama, Dhol, Chup Chup Ke and Bhagam Bhag, has been facing legal trouble since 2018. On February 5, the actor reportedly surrendered in the cheque bounce case. The court had granted him two days, as he was in Mumbai, but later ordered him to surrender on Wednesday. This came after multiple violations of court orders and his failure to pay Rs 9 crore. Before this, Yadav had sought more time to surrender and an extension for payment, but the judge said there was no ground for leniency considering his past conduct in the case.Rajpal Yadav Cheque Bounce Case UpdateIn the cheque book case, the court recently made it clear that no further relief would be given
to Rajpal. The judge said that he had already been granted extra time to surrender earlier, and there was no valid reason to delay it again. For those unversed, he had failed to comply with court directions on several occasions in the past. Rejecting his plea for an extension, the court reportedly said, "This he has done at least 15-20 times in the past. His conduct has been mentioned in the last order. He has not complied with any order, any undertaking… I don't think there is any ground for him for any leniency anymore."He was given two more days to surrender at Tihar Jail, and the actorreportedly did so on Thursday evening.Rajpal Yadav Cheque Bounce Case EXPLAINEDRajpal first landed in legal trouble in 2018 due to multiple cheque bounce cases. He and his wife were convicted by a sessions court before they moved to the Delhi High Court seeking relief. A year later, their conviction was upheld by the High Court. In October 2025, two demand drafts of Rs 75 lakh were deposited with the registrar general. However, as per the order, Rs 9 crore remained payable. Overall, Rajpal Yadav owes Rs 11.9 crore to the complainant, M/s Murali Projects Pvt Ltd, of which Rs 2.5 crore has been paid so far.Notably, Rajpal’s repeated failure to follow court orders has drawn strict action from the Delhi High Court. Since he did not make the promised payments and ignored earlier directions, the court has taken a tougher stance.The court observed that Rajpal had been given several chances based on his assurances, but the payments were never made. His request for more time was rejected, with the court stating that surrender was mandatory before any relief could be considered.
