During the hearing, Yadav's lawyer said that the actor was misguided about the proceedings. Disapproving of this, Sharma said that Yadav and his lawyers appeared before the Court over 25-30 times and made the commitment that money would be paid, which they eventually failed to submit.
"25 to 30 times you appeared in this Court, and you were assisted by a senior counsel. Your senior counsel made the statements on your behalf. Mr Yadav appeared through VC before me at least five times and said I will honour the statement made by my counsel, and if I go abroad, I will earn some money and make the payment. You are not misguided," the Court said.
The case had been adjourned to Monday (February 16), when the court will also hear the bail plea. By that time, the Bhool Bhulaiya actor had to stay in jail.
On Feb 2, the court had ordered Yadav to surrender in two days over failing to make payments. After his plea for an extension of time was rejected, the actor on Feb 5 surrendered.
Rajpal Yadav’s cheque bounce case
On Feb 5, actor Rajpal Yadav surrendered at Tihar Jail on February 5, 2026 over a Rs 9 crore loan default and cheque bounce case. As per the reports, the legal troubles started in 2010 when Yadav borrowed Ra 5 crore from M/s Murali Projects Pvt Ltd for his directorial debut, Ata Pata Laapata. The film failed to earn numbers at the box office,
and Yadav failed to make the payments.
Before his surrender, Yadav recorded an emotional statement stating, “Sir, kya karoon? Mere paas paise nahin hain. Aur koi upaay nahin dikhta… Sir, yahan hum sab akele hain. (Sir, what should I do? I don’t have the money. I can't see other way… Sir, here we are all alone.) There are no friends. I have to deal with this crisis on my own.”
