Czech model Tereza Hluskova, who was held in heroin smuggling case, received relief from the Supreme Court, which dismissed an appeal filed by the Customs Department to prevent the model from flying out of the country.
On Thursday, the case was heard by a three-judge Supreme Court bench led by Justice Ijazul Ahsan.
During the hearing, Justice Ahsan asked the Customs’ lawyer if the sample of heroin recovered from the Czech model’s possession was sent to a laboratory for testing as required by law.
According to the counsel, the trial court that convicted Ms Hluskova ruled that the sample shipping was correct. On April 23, the model wished to return to the Czech Republic, he told the court. He asked the court to order the authorities to place her name on a no-fly list.
If there was a case, Justice Ahsan stated that the court would issue an order.
In its decision, the Supreme Court confirmed the Lahore High Court’s acquittal of the model and dismissed the Customs appeal.
