The Delhi High Court on Tuesday requested a response from TMC MP Mahua Moitra regarding a plea filed by advocate Jai Anant Dehadrai. The plea challenges a court order preventing the publicity of a custody dispute concerning a pet dog.
Justice Manoj Jain, hearing the appeal, issued notice to Moitra and suggested both parties consider resolving the issue outside of court.
The dispute arose after Moitra and Dehadrai, once reportedly in a relationship, parted ways. Moitra's suit in trial court seeks joint custody of the Rottweiler, 'Henry,' while Dehadrai contests the trial court's ex-parte order, which he claims unjustly prevents him from discussing the matter publicly.
