A Delhi court allowed Bollywood diva Jacqueline Fernandez, who has been named in the Rs 200 crore money-laundering and extortion case with conman Sukesh Chandrasekhar — to travel to San Francisco, USA, for work. The actress is set to perform for the company Show Blast LLC from August 7 to August 23. The 37-year-old's application sought permission to travel to the USA to engage in professional services for the promotion of the company's client from August 10 to August 20 this year.

Special judge Shailender Malik on Saturday granted the actress permission to travel abroad and participate in promotional activities. However, while granting permission to travel abroad, the court rejected the contentions put forth by the Enforcement Directorate's (ED's) counsel regarding the visa. The ED's counsel suggested that the promotional activities could be conducted through video conferencing, but the court maintained that it is not within their purview to decide on visa matters.

The judge said that the American embassy or the visa issuing authority will examine the case of the applicant's case for travel independently. Furthermore, the court also said that it is up to the USA-based company to decide whether the promotional activities will be conducted physically or through virtual means. While granting the permission, the court imposed certain conditions.

Fernandez is required to submit a Fixed Deposit Receipt (FDR) worth Rs 1 crore. Additionally, she must provide her travel itinerary and details of her place of stay during her visit to the USA. Advocates Aman Nandrajog, Shakti Singh, and Gaurav Arora represented Jacqueline Fernandez during the court proceedings.
