The Morning Standard
|February 13, 2026
THE Delhi High Court on Thursday directed the government of India to arrange consuJar access to actor Celina Jaitly’s brother, Major Vikrant Jaitly (retd), detained in the UAE for more than a year.
Justice Purushaindra Kumar Kaurav, however, said any further legal recourse in the matter would depend on the detainee’s opinion, after noting that he had refused to engage a law firm suggested by his sister.
The judge passed the directions of the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) while hearing a petition by the actor seeking effective legal representation for her brother, claiming that he had been “illegally abducted and detained” in the UAE since September 6, 2024.
