Actor Rajpal Yadav on Saturday expressed his gratitude to the Supreme Court for presenting his side of the argument in the ongoing cheque bounce case against him.
“You’ve seen one innings for 12 to 14 years, but until the other innings are properly heard, how can this be resolved? If it were a matter of ₹ 5 crore, it could have been settled. The issue is ₹ 22 crore— ₹ 5 crore killed ₹ 22 crore. And even after killing ₹ 22 crore, I am a public actor who goes out among the people all over the world. But I said on the first day that three allegations were made against me, that Rajpal committed fraud of ₹ 5 crore. I think when there are so many agreements, there is no question of cheating, and someone who has won the hearts of the whole world would commit a ₹ 5 crore fraud? I have been acting for 42 years, so my stomach is full,” said the actor.
Because after 14 years, I finally got the opportunity to present my side of the story, and we will follow the Supreme Court’s order at any cost, while talking to ANI, Rajpal said, “First of all, I want to thank the Supreme Court ,. This lawsuit is the most interesting case in Indian history. Rajpal took a loan. Rajpal cheated a businessman. Rajpal doesn’t understand how he cheated, given all these checks. “Right now, we have the good fortune of mediation (court hearing). I will put my case in mediation; I always want a decision in life, and everyone wants a decision. One very interesting thing: I want to thank the Supreme Court for saying that there is no drama in court.
That’s mental,” said the actor. Rajpal also said he would present his case during mediation in the ongoing cheque bounce case , stressing that he would accept any decision reached after hearing both sides. But whatever decision is made after hearing both sides—that was acceptable before, it is acceptable today, and it will be acceptable tomorrow.

The unpaid amount increased over the years with interest and other charges. The case relates to a loan of around ₹ 5 crore allegedly taken by Rajpal from M/s Murli Projects Pvt Ltd in 2010 for his film Ata Pata Laapata. Seven repayment cheques of ₹ 1.05 crore each were subsequently dishonoured, leading to the cheque-bounce proceedings.
