India, March 16 -- The Delhi High Court has dismissed a petition filed by Celina Jaitly seeking help to meet her brother, Vikrant Jaitly, who is currently in detention in the United Arab Emirates. The court said the petition could not continue after learning that Vikrant Jaitly did not want to communicate with his sister and preferred to handle legal matters only after consulting his wife, Charul Jaitly.

According to a Bar and Bench report, the case was heard on March 16 by Justice Purushaindra Kumar Kaurav, who noted that Vikrant had already been granted consular access but had declined legal assistance. Authorities also informed the court that a law firm had offered to represent him free of charge, but Vikrant refused the offer.
