*There is no cavil that the point of jurisdiction of this Court is to be addressed first and at no point in time the merits of case should be discussed however the arguments of the petitioner???s counsel are of such nature which compelled us to go into brief history of the case, which should, in any case, may not be counted as exercise of jurisdiction under Article 199 of the Constitution of Islamic Republic of Pakistan, 1973. **Now since our jurisdiction is contoured in terms of vely couched Article 225, having essence of mandatory application, read with numerous judgments of Supreme Court providing a limited scope to thrive, we could also draw an inference that both acceptance and denial to a recount of votes on any ground could fetch and attract the jurisdiction of the Tribunal followed by orders of Returning Officer/ Commission
