According to a fresh update shared by news agency ANI, the Delhi High Court has now directed the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) to formally issue an order appointing Dubai-based law firm Al Maree Partners to represent Major (retd.) Vikrant Jaitly in legal proceedings in Dubai and Abu Dhabi. The firm has agreed to take up the case free of cost.

The firm’s name was proposed by Celina’s counsel, Raghav Kacker, with assistance from Advocates Madhav Agrawal and Suradhish Vats. The court was informed that the legal team is willing to appear on a pro bono basis and has already independently accessed the case details.

In her petition, Celina alleged that her brother was illegally abducted and detained in the UAE in September 2024. She argued that despite the passage of over a year, the central government had not been able to secure even basic information regarding his wellbeing or legal status.Get the latest entertainment updates from the Times of India, along with the latest Hindi movies, upcoming Hindi movies in 2026 , and Telugu movies.”
