On Thursday evening, the commission issued notices to the parties including the former premier in the case.
On September 19, ECP had reserved its verdict in the Toshakhana reference against the PTI chief.
The Toshakhana case was brought before the electoral watchdog last year after the Pakistan Information Commission (PIC) accepted an application on the matter and directed the Cabinet Division to provide information about the gifts received by the then-prime minister and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chairman Imran Khan from foreign dignitaries.
