ISLAMABAD: The Islamabad High Court (IHC) has extended stay for one day on model Ayyan Ali’s a plea challenging an order of a Customs court.
The Customs collector (adjudication), on April 4, imposed a fine of Rs 50 million on Ayyan Ali for making an attempt to smuggle foreign currency above the prescribed limit.
Ayyan, in her plea, contended that the fine was imposed on her by the Customs collector without hearing her. However, the counsel for the model could not appear before the court and the judge maintained stay for a day.
Ayyan through her counsel Latif Khosa has challenged the verdict maintaining that “she was shocked to know through electronic and print media about the impugned order”. Her counsel said that the Customs collector imposed the fine ex-parte, while the currency smuggling matter was pending before courts.
