Celina Jaitley responds after Delhi High Court disposes of brother’s plea over his refusal to communicate
According to a report, the court disposed of the petition after it was informed that Vikrant Jaitley had refused to communicate with his sister and preferred to take legal decisions in consultation with his wife Charul Jaitley. The court was also told that he had been denied diplomatic access on several occasions and that he had refused legal representation given to him, including pro bono assistance.
Reacting to the development, Celina Jaitley shared a note on Instagram expressing concern while acknowledging the court’s decision. He wrote, “Today was the last hearing of my writ petition. I had approached the Honorable Court out of deep concern for the safety, security and well-being of my brother.” She further added, “He is in a foreign nation and as his sister, I felt it was my duty to ensure that he was not left without protection or support,” and added that despite dealing with personal challenges, she felt compelled to seek legal intervention for his welfare.
In his post, the actor stressed that his intention was to ensure his brother’s safety and access to necessary assistance while he is in custody abroad. He expressed his gratitude to the officers for their continued involvement and said that their actions were motivated by concern as a family member.
While closing the case, the court directed the authorities to get in touch with Vikrant Jaitley and provide assistance if necessary, noting that there is no reason to continue the petition in view of his stated condition. The case has attracted attention over the past year, with Jaitley continuously seeking clarity and support regarding her brother’s situation in the UAE.
