ISLAMABAD :(Parliament Times) Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) on Tuesday has rejected Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chief Imran Khan’s plea seeking to adjourn foreign funding case to indefinite time period.
During the hearing, PTI lawyer Shahid Gondal said that Hanif Abbasi’s plea of same nature is under hearing in Supreme Court (SC) therefore, he appealed to adjourn the case till the decision of SC.
Plaintiff Hashim Bhatta’s lawyer said that Hani Abbasi’s petition is covering different aspects but Imran Khan is no more trustworthy after submitting fake certificate pertaining to party funds in ECP.
Subsequently, the hearing has been adjourned till June 7.
Earlier on April 4, PTI lawyer and former attorney general Anwar Mansur Khan had challenged ECP jurisdiction, saying that ECP could not act as a court under the Constitution.
He said that PTI had submitted information of all its accounts audited by an A-category auditor to ECP after which there was no need to present more details.
