Rajpal Yadav Granted Interim Bail, Attends Niece’s Wedding After Tihar Release

The temporary relief in a Rs 9 crore cheque-bounce dispute tied to his 2012 film allows release until a March 18 court hearing.

Overview

  • Delhi High Court granted interim bail on February 16, permitting Yadav to leave Tihar to attend family functions in Shahjahanpur, Uttar Pradesh.
  • He surrendered on February 5 and was released on February 17 after depositing Rs 1.5 crore; the court required him to surrender his passport.
  • Videos from the wedding went viral as Yadav thanked supporters and said he would comply with all directions and present his case in court.
  • The case traces to a reported Rs 5 crore loan for Ata Pata Laapata, with a complex history that includes a 2018 conviction, a Rs 11.5 crore fine, and a three-month sentence order.
  • His counsel argues earlier cheques were improperly revived despite a 2013 consent agreement and a 2016 decree, with detailed arguments now sought on the merits at the next hearing.
