NEW DELHI: India’s Supreme Court has granted actor and comedian Rajpal Yadav two more weeks to deposit 20 million Indian rupees in connection with a long-running financial dispute involving a bounced-check case.

According to Indian media reports, a three-member bench headed by Chief Justice Surya Kant gave Yadav a final two-week extension to deposit at least 20 million rupees with the Supreme Court registry.

The court said Yadav’s previous conduct was not sufficient to win its confidence. However, it granted the extension after his lawyer assured the bench that the actor would deposit the amount within the stipulated period and provide security for the remaining dues.

During the hearing, Chief Justice Surya Kant questioned whether the court could rely on Yadav’s assurance, referring to his past conduct.

The court also extended Yadav’s pre-arrest bail until the next hearing, scheduled for Oct. 5, and directed him to surrender his passport.

Background

Yadav reportedly borrowed 50 million rupees from a private entity in 2010 to finance Ata Pata Laapata, his directorial debut.

The film failed at the box office, leaving Yadav unable to repay the loan. With interest and other dues, the amount reportedly increased to around 90 million rupees, leading to a prolonged legal dispute.
