Rajpal Yadav Jail: Delhi High Court has sentenced Bollywood actor Rajpal Yadav in the check bounce case. The High Court has upheld his conviction in all seven cases. In all the seven cases, Rajpal Yadav has been sentenced to simple imprisonment for three months. However, it is a matter of relief for Rajpal Yadav that he will have to spend only 3 months in jail and not 21 months.
Fine on Rajpal Yadav
Along with this, the court has also imposed a fine of Rs 1.05 crore on Rajpal Yadav separately in all seven cases. Out of this amount, Rs 1 crore 4 lakh 75 thousand will be given to the complainant, while Rs 25 thousand will be deposited in the government account. The High Court has made it clear that if Rajpal Yadav does not deposit the fine amount within the stipulated time, he will have to spend an additional six months in jail in each case. This means that in case of non-payment of fine, their problems may increase further.
Wife Radha Yadav also fined
Rajpal Yadav’s wife Radha Yadav also did not get relief in this matter. The court has ordered him to pay Rs 5 lakh 51 thousand 380 to the complainant in all the seven cases. If she does not pay the fine, she will have to undergo simple imprisonment for three months.
Why was there relief?
Delhi High Court said that Rajpal Yadav has already deposited around Rs 2.25 crore. Keeping this in view, the court reduced the amount of fine imposed on him. However, the court made it clear that this would not affect his conviction.
