Actor Rajpal Yadav has been granted interim bail by the Delhi High Court in a long-running financial dispute with businessman Madhav Gopal Aggarwal.

According to Rajpal Yadav’s lawyer, the dispute arose from a ₹5 crore loan taken for the film Ata Pata Laapata, followed by multiple agreements and post-dated cheques. Trouble allegedly began after the film’s music launch in September 2012, where a disagreement occurred over stage access involving Amitabh Bachchan. Soon after, the complainant approached the High Court seeking a stay on the film’s release.

In 2013, both parties entered into a consent agreement, and in 2016, a fresh consent decree fixed the payable amount at ₹10.40 crore, with recovery to be done only through execution proceedings. Rajpal paid ₹1.90 crore, and a guarantor later offered property as security for the remaining amount, which the complainant allegedly refused.

The defence claims that despite the consent decree, old cheques from earlier agreements were revived, leading to parallel criminal and execution proceedings—something not legally permissible for the same cause of action.

Rajpal Yadav has challenged these actions, and while the matter is still pending, the High Court has granted him interim bail. The legal dispute continues.
