The Delhi High Court on February 12, 2026 strongly criticized Rajpal Yadav for delaying the surrender order in connection with multiple cheque bounce cases over the years. The court described the actor’s negligence as unacceptable and directed him to surrender immediately to Tihar Jail without further delay. Despite earlier opportunities to surrender, the actor delayed the order, which led to the court expressing frustration with the delay, as no one is above the law and the surrender must be obeyed.
Actor opens up about his financial struggle
For more than a decade, Rajpal Yadav has blessed the screen with his immense talent despite the fact that his current financial condition made fans question how small actors live if someone so popular and talented can struggle financially. Following the court order, the actor opened up with an emotional statement to the press before entering custody; the actor said that he has “no money left” and is under financial debt. Yadav told the reporters present on the scene that his challenging financial condition led him to make difficult financial decisions, adding more emotional aspects to the case. He still owned up to his mistake and was ready to face all legal consequences.
Background: Cheque Bounce Cases and Legal Orders
Rajpal Yadav is under the legal spotlight for his several cheque bounce cases under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act, which deals with dishonoured cheques issued for payment of debts. Cheque bounce cases can result in criminal prosecution if found guilty of failing to pay the issuer. Earlier, the Delhi High Court rejected Yadav’s stay on the surrender order, and he was also denied an extension to comply as the court firmly asked him to surrender without further delay.
Reaction and Public Attention
Rajpal’s surrender has attracted widespread media and fan attention, with many expressing support for him as an actor facing financial difficulties, while others emphasise the importance of accountability and following the law.
Some of his colleagues also showed support and acknowledged his taking accountability for his situation.
