Trinamool Congress MP Mahua Moitra has approached the Delhi High Court against a Saket Court's order, which denied her the interim custody of a pet Rottweiler dog named Henry for 10 days every month, according to the news agency IANS. The High Court issued notice to advocate Jai Anant Dehadrai and sought his response. Moitra has challenged a Saket court order dated November 10, 2025, which rejected her plea. The Delhi High Court has listed the matter for hearing on April 29.
Justice Manoj Kumar Ohri issued notice to Moitra's ex-boyfriend, advocate Jai Anant Dehadrai, seeking his response to the plea. In her appeal against the Saket court order, the TMC MP argued the trial court order is bad in law and fact as it failed to consider that Henry was given to her as her pet “to be loved and cared for, and resided primarily at her residence, unless she was out of station for her duties in her constituency, during which time Henry resided with the Respondent (Dehadrai)".

Jai Anant Dehadrai and TMC MP Mahua Motra were in a relationship and took care of a pet, Henry. As her relationship with Dehadrai strained, with Dehadrai accusing Moitra of "cash-for-query", Henry became a mutual connection between them. Both claimed that pet Henry belonged to them as they accused each other of partly "kidnapping".
Dehadrai had alleged that Moitra accepted bribes from businessman Darshan Hiranandani for asking questions in Parliament.
