Supreme Court Accepts Rajpal Yadav’s Property Sale Plan
Rajpal Yadav is in a court case about money and cheques connected to a film.
He and his wife received ₹5 crore from Murli Projects for the movie Ata Pata Laapata.
Yadav says a later agreement changed what should happen to earlier cheques.
Murli Projects says the cheques were not paid when presented.
Yadav offered to pay ₹2 crore now using money from drafts and a possible property sale.
A buyer offered to provide ₹85 lakh, while Yadav brought drafts for ₹1.15 crore.
The complainant’s lawyer agreed that Yadav could have three months to pay the rest if the ₹2 crore is deposited.
The Supreme Court said it was giving time to help the complainant recover the money, and will hear the case again after two days.
The Supreme Court accepted Rajpal Yadav’s proposal to pay ₹2 crore toward dues in a cheque-bounce case by selling ancestral property.
Yadav brought demand drafts worth ₹1.15 crore; prospective buyer Anant Prakash Yadav offered to deposit another ₹85 lakh.
The case stems from ₹5 crore received by Yadav and his wife from Murli Projects for the film Ata Pata Laapata.
Yadav says a 2013 consent agreement required the return of eight security cheques; Murli Projects presented seven, which were dishonoured.
The complainant’s counsel agreed to three months for payment of the balance if ₹2 crore is deposited immediately; the Supreme Court will hear the matter again after two days.
