Delhi High Court Issues Notice in Mahua Moitra’s Appeal Over Custody of Rottweiler Henry

The court set an April 29 hearing on her challenge to a 2025 trial order that denied shared-custody access.

Overview

  • Justice Manoj Kumar Ohri sought a response from Jai Anant Dehadrai after Moitra appealed the Saket court’s refusal to grant her 10 days of access to Henry each month.
  • Dehadrai appeared in person and urged the High Court to dismiss the petition at the outset, with the next hearing listed for April 29.
  • Moitra argues the trial court order is bad in law and fact, saying Henry primarily lived with her and that payment alone cannot establish ownership.
  • Her plea cites kennel and kennel-club records and contends the lower court did not record any finding that Dehadrai is the owner.
  • Dehadrai maintains he bought Henry in January 2021 for ₹75,000 and the dog is currently with him, a dispute intertwined with allegations that led to Moitra’s expulsion from Parliament in December 2023.
