In a unanimous decision, the ECP determined that the party had accepted contributions from 34 foreign nationals as well as business magnate Arif Naqvi.

The reserved decision was made by a three-person panel that included Shah Muhammad Jatoi and Nisar Ahmed Durrani under the direction of Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Sikander Sultan Raja.

Imran Khan filed a false declaration in the PTI case involving unlawful money, according to the ECP. The electoral watchdog also made the decision to demand an explanation from the PTI as to why the commission should not seize the monies it received in a show-cause notice.

Akbar S. Babar, a founding member of PTI, filed the lawsuit, which has been pending since November 14, 2014. Babar had claimed that the party's funding from Pakistan and overseas had been subject to major financial irregularities.

Days prior, the ruling coalition, which includes representatives from the Pakistan Democratic Movement, PPP, and Muttahida Qaumi Movement-Pakistan, requested the ECP to announce the case's verdict.

rigorous security

Strict security measures were implemented in Islamabad prior to the judgement in the PTI forbidden funding case being announced. Roads leading to the election commission were shut off, and there was a strong police presence outside the building.

There are only two points of entry into Shahrah-e-Dastoor, where the ECP headquarters is located: Serena and Margalla Roads.

Police have closed Nadra Chowk and the route near the electoral commission by putting containers there.

Case of PTI foreign funding

After the end of the arguments from both sides of the dispute on June 21, the Pakistani Election Commission has reserved its judgement.

It is notable that the election commission has been hearing about PTI foreign money since November 2014.

Akbar S. Babar, a founding member of PTI and a former information secretary, had filed the lawsuit at the ECP in November 2014, citing financial irregularities in PTI's overseas fundraising as well as the fact that it had received money from illegal sources.

The PTI has denied the accusations as unsubstantiated and unsupported.
