Yadav issued multiple cheques to clear the amount, which quickly bounced, finally leading the actor to criminal proceedings.When the Delhi High Court took cognizance into the matter, it granted him multiple extensions to repay the amount in installments. Although he made partial payments and repeatedly assured compliance, he failed to meet agreed timelines.The court finally rejected Yadav's final attempt to avoid imprisonment and directed that he must surrender to the jail authorities before any further hearing could be held.According to PTI, on February 4, the court declined any further extension of deadline and stated that since the actor had failed to comply with the surrender order, he would be heard only after he hands himself over to the jail authorities.
