The court made it clear that this would be the last opportunity for Yadav to comply with the condition. It also directed him to surrender his passport.
The matter relates to seven cheque bounce cases involving Murli Projects Private Limited. The Delhi High Court had convicted Yadav in the cases and sentenced him to three months in prison in each case.
