President appoints three High Court chief justices as Supreme Court judges

The Supreme Court delivered a stern warning to Bollywood actor Rajpal Yadav over unpaid dues in a lengthy cheque-bounce case. Justice Joymalya Bagchi told his counsel, "Your place is in jail," during a tense hearing on Monday. The court had given Yadav two weeks to present a proposal to clear the outstanding amount, instructing him to deposit Rs 2 crore with the court registry.

The bench, including Chief Justice Surya Kant and Justices Joymalya Bagchi and V Mohana, expressed frustration with Yadav's lawyer who argued that the complainant company was not poor. The court emphasized that the complainant was "poor to the extent you have swindled them." Yadav has been given until Tuesday to make the payment, with the case set to be heard by the bench again on Wednesday.
