ECP submits reply in PTI foreign funding case

ISLAMABAD: The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) on Monday submitted its comments to the Islamabad High Court (IHC) against an intra-court appeal of the Pakistan Tehreek e Insaf (PTI) in the foreign funding case.

The court ordered the ECP to provide a copy of the comments to the PTI lawyer and asked him to give arguments on the next hearing after reading it. A two-judge bench comprising Chief Justice Athar Minallah and Justice Baber Sattar heard the PTI plea against a decision of the conclusion of the foreign funding case in a month. At the outset of hearing, the ECP submitted its comments and the court asked the PTI lawyer whether he wanted to read it. The lawyer said the ECP was bound to hold the scrutiny of all political parties. The court adjourned the case until June 14.
