Bollywood actor Rajpal Naurang Yadav, known for making audiences laugh, found himself in the serious spotlight today but not for a movie role. The Delhi High Court has made it clear that the actor cannot delay any further in his legal troubles related to cheque bounce cases. No extensions, no excuses. Yadav must surrender before the jail authorities today.
Justice Swarana Kanta Sharma firmly turned down Yadav’s latest request for an extension. The actor’s legal team had asked for an additional week, claiming they needed more time to arrange the Rs. 50 lakh payment involved in the case.

But this could not impress the court. The judge reminded Yadav that he had already received two extra days to surrender, after he had claimed he was in Bombay. “You were to surrender on a particular day but the court granted two days because you said you were in Bombay. Today you have to surrender at 4 PM,” Justice Sharma said.

This is not the first time the actor has faced the court over the matter. On February 2, the court had sternly asked Yadav to surrender today, criticising him for repeatedly failing to honour undertakings about the settlement payments.
Justice Sharma noted that the actor’s conduct “deserves to be deprecated”. He pointed out that despite numerous opportunities and significant leniency from the court, Yadav had still not completed his payment obligations to the complainant company, M/s Murli Projects Pvt. Ltd.
