The PTI had filed an intra-court appeal in the IHC challenging the high court’s single-bench decision to announce the verdict on foreign funding case within 30 days.

Chief Justice IHC Justice Athar Minallah in the order said, “The ECP is a constitutional institution so the court suspends its earlier order that the commission should announce its verdict within 30 days.”
