The Trinamool MP and Dehadrai, a Supreme Court lawyer, were reportedly in a relationship and have not been on the best terms since they parted ways.<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

Supreme Court advocate Jai Anant Dehadrai on Sunday claimed that he had secured the custody of Henry, the Rottweiler at the centre of his long-running dispute with Trinamool Congress MP Mahua Moitra, after a Saket district court dismissed an application filed in the custody battle.<\/p>\n

In a post on X, Dehadrai said that \u201cHenry is safe \u2013 for now” and thanked the Saket District Court for dismissinh what he described as a \u201cridiculous application” by an individual (referring to Moitra) claiming ownership and custody rights over the pet dog.<\/p>\n

He cited the court\u2019s observation that \u201cno prima facie case was found in favour of the plaintiff.”<\/p>\n

\u201cGrateful to the District Court Saket for dismissing a ridiculous application filed by a deranged individual claiming ownership and custody rights over my dog \u2013 the Learned Judge has rightly held \u201cno prima facie case in the favour of the plaintiff. Now if only some people would get the damn message, and focus their energies on their tanking political career and their recently acquired geriatric spouse \u2013 all would be well in the world. Wishing everyone \u2013 including the cretins being investigated and prosecuted by the CBI and the Hon\u2019ble Lokpal \u2013 a very happy Sunday,” he said. <\/p>\n

The custody battle over Henry has been ongoing between Moitra and her former partner since 2023. Dehadari has said that he purchased the dog when it was 40 days old. Moitra has argued that the dog belongs to her and has sought joint custody. The acrimonious dispute emerged after the two\u2014who were reportedly in a relationship\u2014parted ways, coinciding with political turbulence surrounding Moitra following the \u201ccash-for-query” case and her expulsion from the Lok Sabha in 2023.<\/p>\n

The dispute escalated legally in September 2025 when Dehadrai challenged a trial court\u2019s March 2025 order restraining both parties from publicising the case, calling it an overly broad \u201cgag order.” The order directed that the proceedings \u201cshall not be publicised in any manner,” following social-media posts by Dehadrai that the court deemed violative of its directives.<\/p>\n

The Delhi High Court had sought Moitra\u2019s response to Dehadrai\u2019s plea against the order and asked why the two could not attempt an amicable resolution.<\/p>\n

According to a report by Bar and Bench, Justice Manoj Jain asked: \u201cWhy don\u2019t you sit together and sort it out? What relief is she seeking in the suit?”<\/p>\n

Senior advocate Sanjay Ghose, appearing for Dehadrai, argued that the gag order infringed his client\u2019s freedom of speech, especially when Moitra is seeking shared custody of the dog. He questioned whether an MP could claim \u201ca higher right” to privacy in such proceedings.<\/p>\n

Dehadrai\u2019s plea also alleged that the trial court had orally asked him to withdraw his earlier application, prompting him to approach the high court. The matter is scheduled for further hearing on December 22, with fresh notice issued to Moitra after she did not appear despite advance service.<\/p>\n
