Ayyan failed to appear before the Customs court judge, Rana Aftab Ahmed, where she was to be indicted after her acquittal plea was dismissed.
Once again the Customs court could not frame charges against supermodel Ayyan Ali 15th time on Thursday in the money laundering case and adjourned the hearing till November 19.
The counsel of Ayyan filed a plea before the court that her client was sick, therefore, she must be exempted from appearance.
The medical certificate of the accused was presented on the court orders. On this, the judge remarked that the doctor who has issued this certificate belongs to Karachi and it will be difficult to summon him if needed.
The court ordered Ayyan to appear on the next hearing and adjourned the hearing till November 19.
Meanwhile, on behalf of Ayyan, a plea has been filed in the Customs court for return of supermodel’s passport.
It is prayed that Ayan is to go abroad on important visit, therefore, the passport should be returned.
