Overview

• Justice Manoj Jain issued notice to Moitra on Dehadrai’s petition and listed the matter for December 22, directing that the trial court’s restraint remain in effect.
• Dehadrai challenges a March 2025 Saket court order barring publicity of the proceedings and an April interim injunction over an X post that he says he deleted under protest.
• The judge asked why the parties cannot resolve the dispute out of court and inquired about the relief sought in Moitra’s suit, which seeks shared custody of Henry.
• Arguing a constitutional free-speech violation, Dehadrai’s counsel cited Delhi High Court precedent limiting gag orders; the High Court did not lift the restraint.
• Moitra did not appear despite advance notice, and the dispute over the Rottweiler Henry continues alongside conflicting ownership claims and a broader political backdrop tied to 2023 complaints and ethics action.
