The bail hearing will resume on February 16 after the complainant submits his response to the court.

The reports indicate that Rajpal Yadav took out a loan from Murli Projects Private Limited to fund his wife’s film Ata Pata Laapata, which he released around 2010.

The sessions court delivered a six-month prison sentence to him in May 2024, due to his involvement in the cheque bounce case. His sentence from the court was suspended after he informed the High Court that he would repay Rs 2.5 crore through installment payments, but he failed to complete the required payments.
