Legal Representation and Next Hearing
The case, represented by Advocates Raghav Kacker and Madhav Agarwal on behalf of Celina Jaitly, has been listed for further hearing on December 4.
Celina has alleged that her brother was abducted and detained in Abu Dhabi, where he has been held for the past 14 months without proper legal or medical assistance.
Advocate Raghav Kacker told ANI,“A nodal officer has been appointed to help the petitioner and her brother communicate, to give him effective legal assistance, to keep us updated on the case status...

He also noted that the exact details surrounding Major Jaitly’s detention remain unclear at this stage.
