2. This Special Appeal has been filed questioning the refusal to exercise discretion in favour of the appellants to grant an interim relief as prayed for by the impugned order dated 7.4.2016 on the ground that the learned Single has not appreciated the issue of jurisdiction involved in the controversy and therefore, the observation that the elections shall be held subject to final decision of the writ petition, was not the appropriate relief.
