Supermodel Ayyan Ali on Monday filed a contempt of court plea in the Supreme Court (SC) against the Interior Ministry and other concerned authorities for not omitting her name from the Exit Control List (ECL).
The supermodel’s counsel Latif Khosa filed the petition.
The plea highlights the recent verdict given by the SC in the currency smuggling case. The court had allowed foreign tours to the supermodel. The plea cites her mother’s illness and business commitments as reasons for urgency in the matter.
Interior Secretary, Additional Secretary and Jinnah terminal’s in-charge have been declared a party in the case. The petition further urged the court to hold a hearing on April 19.
Last week, SC had rejected Interior Ministry’s and customs authorities’ pleas challenging Sindh High Court’s (SHC) decision.
She had stated in her plea then that the constitution of Pakistan gave freedom of transportation to every citizen and no action could be taken without following legal procedure in this regard.
Ayyan Ali was booked in March last year at Islamabad’s Benazir International Airport for attempt to smuggle US $506,800 to United Arab Emirates (UAE).
Airport Security Force (ASF) had apprehended Ali before she allegedly boarded a private airline’s flight.
After almost 9 months of her arrest, the model was indicted in the currency smuggling case but she pleaded not guilty to the charges.
Sardar Latif Khosa is milking the Super Model (read money-mule) till both would exhust.
