| Decision |
The Lahore High Court granted bail to the petitioner, MST. AYYAN ALI, after considering that she had no previous criminal record and the nature of the offense was technical. The court emphasized that the act of taking foreign currency out of Pakistan beyond the prescribed limit is not inherently immoral or anti-social. The court noted that the petitioner was not required for further investigation and allowed her release on bail subject to certain conditions, including the furnishing of bail bonds. |
| Summary |
This case revolves around the bail application of MST. AYYAN ALI, who was apprehended at the airport while attempting to carry foreign currency exceeding the permissible limit. The prosecution alleged smuggling, but the defense argued that the funds were proceeds from property sales intended for her brother. The Lahore High Court ruled in favor of granting bail, highlighting the technical nature of the alleged offense and the lack of a criminal background for the petitioner. The decision reflects a nuanced understanding of bail conditions and the legal implications of currency regulations. Key phrases such as 'bail application', 'smuggling', and 'foreign currency regulations' are essential for legal SEO optimization. |
