Money laundering suspect Ayyan Ali could not be indicted once again on Tuesday as her counsel pleaded the court to postpone the proceedings until the Lahore High Court (LHC) decides on the application of a co-accused against his arrest-warrants.
Muhammad Awais was named as a co-accused in the case by the Customs official and his arrest warrants were also obtained. Awais, however, moved the LHC against his arrest-warrants.
Lateef Khosa maintained that Awais was named as a co-accused after he refused to become a prosecution witness. He requested the customs court to not proceed further until the LHC decision is out.
Customs Prosecutor Muhammad Ameen Feroz, however, maintained the two were separate cases and requested the court to charge-sheet the suspect and hear arguments.
The court, however, adjourned the case till September 28, saying it was the list time indictment was being delayed.
