PTI Foreign Funding case, IHC suspends ECP order

ISLAMABAD: A two-judge bench of IHC, presided by CJ Athar Minallah and including Justice Babar Sattar, has suspended the order given by IHC’s Justice Babar Sattar directing the ECP to decide the foreign funding case against PTI within thirty days. 

It may be recalled that earlier, Justice Kayani had dismissed PTI’s petition seeking to keep its foreign funding confidential terming it “non-maintainable” and “misconceived”. He had also rejected the request to prevent giving access of the case’s record to dissident PTI founding member Akbar S Babar and a request to remove him from the case proceedings.

The PTI had filed petitions on January 25 and 31 regarding the above two requests that were subsequently rejected by the ECP on March 15. The party had then filed a petition challenging the ECP’s decision to dismiss the pleas.
