It is not controlled by the Federal Government; isn\u2019t a statutory body, and has no affiliation from the Pakistan Sports Board (PSB).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Court relied on <i>Abdul Wahab v. HBL<\/i>, <a href=\"http:\/\/scconline.com\/DocumentLink\/33INgLAB\">2013 SCC OnLine Pak SC 84<\/a> where it was held that two important factors for \u2018function test\u2019 are: (i) the extent of financial interest of the State\/Federation in an institution, and (ii) State\u2019s dominance in controlling affairs thereof.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It was opined that none of the functions of POA involved exercise of sovereign power or public power. While the Federal Government did approve the selection of contingents and gave its consent to POA, such an act did not amount to executive control. Federal Government did not exercise decision-making authority even if PSB was involved in scrutinising and approving teams. Bulk of the activities carried out by POA were privately funded; only the activity of sending teams to Olympics was funded by the federal government; and while it was an expensive undertaking, it was only part of what POA did. Further, the State had no financial interest in the functions of POA.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In view of the above, it was held that POA did not satisfy the \u2018function test\u2019 and therefore, was not exercising public functions and was not a \u2018person\u2019 as per Article 199(5) of the Constitution. As such, no writ of quo warranto could lie against its office holders, nor could a writ lie against the Association in terms of Article 199(1)(a) of the Constitution.[Pakistan Olympic Association v.
