Metropolitan Magistrate Monika Saroha directed attachment of Yadav's properties and sought the compliance report of her order from the police by September 10.
The counsel for Yadav's wife, Poornima Yadav, had told the court that Yadav was supposed to pay arrears of alimony of over Rs 10 lakh to the woman, who had approached the court in 2006.
The court's order came on the plea of Yadav's wife that the actor, who has featured in films like 'Massey Sahib', 'Lagaan', 'Peepli Live' and 'Gandhi to Hitler', has again failed to pay monthly alimony to her.
The court earlier in March too had begun the proceedings for attachment of the actor's properties, forcing the latter to pay Rs three lakh to Poornima Yadav as alimony.
Yadav has been working in the film industry for over two decades and his long list of works includes popular TV serials like "Mungeri Lal Ke Haseen Sapne" and "Kargil" besides Salam Bombay, Page Three, Massey Saheb, 1942-A Love Story, Maya Memsab, Earth 1947 and Lagaan.
The court had asked him to pay the maintenance saying he was doing well in commercial cinema.
According to Yadav's wife, he owns properties in Mumbai and Jabalpur.
The woman, in her plea, had told the court that she had married Yadav in Jabalpur in June 1988 but he deserted her in 1995. She had added she had been living along with their son in Delhi.
While directing the actor to pay alimony to his wife, the court had refused to accept his contention that his wife, who has worked as a dance teacher for the last few years in the National School of Drama (NSD), was earning Rs 12 lakh yearly and needs no maintenance from him.
