RAWALPINDI (Dunya News) – Verdict on Ayyan Ali’s plea seeking return of her passport will be announced on November 25.
The decision was to be announced today but the hearing was adjourned due to absence of customs judge Rana Aftab Ahmed.
On the previous hearing, Ayyan’s lawyer Lateef Khosa adopted the stance that seeking access to passport is the basic right of his client, otherwise, her projects with international companies will be cancelled which can cause financial problems for her.
The model pleaded not guilty after she was indicted in the currency smuggling case on November 20.

Later, her name was added to Exit Control List (ECL) which banned her from traveling abroad.
The model has been the focus of media attention since March when authorities, working on a tip, nabbed her at the VIP lounge of Benazir Bhutto International Airport in Islamabad.
Under Pakistani laws, no one can carry over $10,000 on a flight, but authorities found $506,800 tucked in her luggage.
