Mumbai: After the Delhi High Court extended Rajpal Yadav’s interim bail until April 1, his lawyer told the media that the actor is not seeking a settlement and intends to fight the case legally.
The high court on Wednesday noted that the actor had made substantial payments to the complainant in the cheque bounce case and hence, will not send him to jail for now.
The court further declined to vacate its earlier order granting an interim suspension of sentence to the actor in Rs 9-crore cheque-bounce cases.
Addressing the media outside the court, Rajpal’s lawyer, SK Sharma said, “Court ne Rajpal ji se pucha ke aapne samay samay pe kahan hai ke aap paise dena chahthe ho, toh aap settle kar rahe ho ya nahi? To Rajpal ji ne kaha ke ab settle nahi karna chahte, argument karne hai. Aur phir uski application de di. Ab uski argument hoi. Court ne April 1 ki date di hai (The court asked Rajpal ji that since he had earlier said at various times that he was willing to pay the money, whether he now intends to settle the matter or not. Rajpal ji responded that he no longer wishes to settle and wants to argue the case. Following this, an application was submitted. The court has now given the next date of hearing as April 1).”

After the hearing in high court, Rajpal said, “The next hearing is on April 1. I have complete faith in the judicial system of India. Dudh ka dudh aur pani ka pani nikalne ki puri koshish karenge. (We will try to dig out the truth).”
A bench of justice Swarana Kanta Sharma ruled that the actor was not running away.
