India, July 11 -- The Delhi High Court has upheld the conviction of Bollywood actor Rajpal Yadav in multiple cheque bounce cases and sentenced him to three months' simple imprisonment. The court dismissed the actor's revision petitions, finding no legal grounds to interfere with the judgments of the trial court and sessions court.

The case stems from a financial dispute involving a loan taken by Yadav for his 2012 film project. According to court records, the cheques issued towards repayment were dishonoured, leading to proceedings under the Negotiable Instruments Act. Over the years, the outstanding liability reportedly increased significantly due to interest and penalties.
