Yes, no, maybe? Ayyan expected to get passports back today
The judge directed the accused to resubmit the documents in light of court directions
RAWALPINDI:
Currency-smuggling suspect Ayyan Ali is likely to get her confiscated passports back on Tuesday (today) after her application to do so was rejected by the Customs court on Monday for being incomplete.
The model appeared in the court on Monday hoping to retrieve her passports but Judge Rana Aftab Ahmed Khan rejected the personal surety [of Ayyan] and two surety bonds worth Rs1 million each for lacking documentation and details. The judge directed the accused to resubmit the documents in light of court directions and legal guidelines.
Customs investigation officers inspectors Saleem and Yusuf Mughal submitted in court the three passports seized on the day of the model’s arrest along with their report.
Sources said after getting her passport, the model will request the interior ministry and the high court to get her name off the exit control list in order to fulfill her modeling commitments abroad.
Ayyan has assured the court in her personal guarantee that she would appear before the court at every hearing.
She was arrested from the Benazir Bhutto International Airport on March 14 after $506,800 were recovered from her luggage, and later spent four months in Adiala Jail, Rawalpindi on judicial remand.
