The Delhi High Court rejected actor Rajpal Yadav’s final plea to avoid imprisonment in a cheque bounce case, refusing to hear him unless he surrendered first. Following the court’s order, Yadav told the bench he would surrender before Tihar Jail authorities later today.
The Delhi High Court held that a director who is an admitted signatory to a dishonoured cheque cannot seek quashing of NI Act proceedings by merely claiming resignation, especially when the timing and genuineness of resignation are disputed facts.
