During the hearing, Yadav also told the court that his niece is getting married on Feb 19. The next hearing is scheduled for March 18.
The actor has also asked Yadav to be present in the next court hearing, either physically or via video conferencing. He has also been instructed to surrender his passport, if not already deposited.
Rajpal Yadav's case explained:
On Feb 4, the Delhi High Court ordered the actor to surrender at Tihar Jail in connection with the long-pending case, as he failed to pay the amount despite making repeated promises. This led to the bouncing of several cheques amounting to crores of rupees. On Feb 5, the actor surrendered in Tihar Jail.
In 2010, Yadav and his wife took a loan of Rs 5 crore to fulfil his directorial dream. However, the film failed to perform well at the box office, which left the actor in financial distress. After years of unpaid dues due to accumulated interest and penalties imposed on him, the outstanding amount has now reached around Rs 9 crore.
