ISLAMABAD: The Supreme Court will resume hearing on Sept 12 petitions seeking disqualification of Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) chairman Imran Khan and general secretary Jahangir Khan Tareen from.

A three-judge bench will hear the petitions filed by Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leader Mohammad Hanif Abbasi.

Mr Abbasi had filed the petitions last year requesting the Supreme Court to disqualify the PTI chief for presenting `contradictory statements about the ownership of Banigala properties and misstating party`s foreign funding sources`.

Meanwhile, the Islamabad High Court on Thursday directed the PTI to submit details of the party`s collection of foreign funds and sources of funding to the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) within a fortnight.

The petition seeking details of thePTI`s foreign funding was filed by a party`s estranged leader, Akbar S.

Babar, about three years ago.

The directives came after the PTI`s counsel said that the party was ready to submit details and sources of funding to the ECP in line with its order of April 1, 2015.

The PTI, however, of fered to share the details with the ECP on the condition of secrecy.

The ECP had in its order stated that the PTI audit reports submitted to it did not contain sources and details of foreign funds.

All the parties the PTI, ECP and Mr Babar appeared to be satisfied with the decision as the court has accepted their requests in a way which suits them all.

On the one hand, the court has accepted the PTI`s condition that no one will be given access to the documents and, on the other, Mr Babar and the counsel for the ECP have said that the PTI has finally been directed to submit details and sources of funding to the commission af ter three years.

During the hearing, the PTI`s counsel said that the ECP was neither a court nor a tribunal and it had no jurisdiction to decide the matter.

He, however, said that the party was ready to submit details on the condi-tion that the documents would not be handed over to anyone.

The counsel for Mr Babar maintained before the bench that every party was bound to reveal sources of party funds and even an ordinary citizen had a right to seek details of funding and sources of a party from the ECP.

The court, however, decided that the PTI would submit details of the funds and sources to the ECP in two weeks and directed the poll supervisory body to decide the matter and keep the documents to itself.

Meanwhile, the ECP directed the PTI to submit details of its funding by Sept 11.

The chief election commissioner (CEC) directed the PTI counsel to produce the same record which they had already submitted to the Supreme Court.

PTI`s counsel Faisal Hussain requested the CEC to adjourn the proceedings since the matter was sub judice before the Supreme Court and the IHC.

He pointed out that the PTI had cited the ECP as one of the respondents in the petition filed in the apex court.

He said that the party had submitted details of its funding to the Supreme Court.
