LAHORE:
Lahore High Court (LHC) reserved its decision on Supermodel Ayyan’s bail plea on Monday, pertaining to charges of currency smuggling.
A single-member bench of the LHC, headed by Justice Abdul Sami Khan, was hearing the plea today.
During the hearing of the plea, customs officials maintained Ali was caught attempting to smuggle over $500,000 to a foreign country within Islamabad airport limits, in light of which her bail plea should be rejected.
Sardar Latif Khosa, the counsel for the accused, argued that Ayyan did not have a boarding card. He said the model, who had received the money after selling some of her properties, was attempting to hand it over to her brother at the airport when she was detained by customs officials.
After hearing the arguments, the court reserved its decision.
What kind of defence is that? She was giving the money to her brother for him to smuggle out of the country?
Anyway, why is this case going on for so long? It seems that every week she is appearing in court but her trial hasn't started yet. Will it take 15 years to either condemn or acquit her?
