The judge said that he could not work at the disposal of customs officials. Ali’s challan had been filed which declared her responsible for the crime, he added. The judge then asked Rai Mudassar to present arguments against her indictment.
Customs special prosecutor Ameen Feroz said that a complete challan had been filed against Ali. He urged the court to indict her without any further delay as all investigation against her had been completed.
