Amid mounting anticipation, the Delhi High Court extended interim bail to Rajpal Yadav until March 18 in his protracted check bounce trial, currently holding him in Tihar Jail. Central to the grant is the mandate for a 1.5 crore demand draft submission before noon—success ensures freedom, failure revokes it.
The bench, assured by counsel of payment fulfillment, ordered passport surrender and slotted March 18 for continuance.
Yadav invoked family ties, seeking leave for his niece’s Shahjahanpur wedding, which swayed the court’s discretion.
Sonu Sood’s morning prayers set the tone; his post-ruling X message beamed optimism: ‘Miracles of dua. Positive tidings soon. Your relentless support culminates the vigil. That nostalgic hilarity graces screens anew—eyes peeled.’
The relief drive, ignited by Sood, amassed pledges: Tej Pratap Yadav’s 11 lakhs, Indrajeet Singh’s 1.11 crores, ASP Anuj Chaudhary’s 51,000— a testament to cross-sector empathy.
The dispute originates from a 9 crore advance for ‘Ata Pata Lapata’ production, derailed by box-office failure. Acting incomes covered portions, yet residuals sparked litigation.
Yadav’s path forward promises redemption. This bail breathes life into a career defined by laughter, cautioning against unchecked ambitions in filmdom while celebrating communal upliftment.
