On the petition filed by Trinamool Congress MP Mahua Moitra, Delhi High Court has issued a notice to lawyer Jai Ananth Dehadrai and sought his reply. This case is related to the interim custody of a pet dog named ‘Henry’. Mahua Moitra has demanded from the court that she should be given interim custody of Henry for 10 days every month. She says that she wants to take care of the dog and give it time.
Saket court had rejected his application on 10 November 2025. The lower court had refused to grant interim custody and did not accept his demand. Challenging the decision of Saket Court, Mahua Moitra approached the Delhi High Court. After the preliminary hearing of the case, the High Court has issued a notice to the concerned party and asked them to file a reply.

Case of Jai Anant Dehadrai and Mahua Moitra
Many legal disputes have been going on between Jai Anant Dehadrai and Mahua Moitra for the last few years. Dehadrai had alleged that Mahua Moitra took bribe from businessman Darshan Hiranandani in exchange for asking questions in Parliament. Later Nishikant Dubey also lodged a complaint in this regard before the Lok Sabha Speaker. On the basis of these allegations, the Ethics Committee of the Lok Sabha recommended action. After this, on 8 December 2023, Mahua Moitra was expelled from the Lok Sabha. Mahua Moitra denied these allegations and said that Darshan Hiranandani is her friend and no transaction of any kind took place. He called it political vendetta.
