The Election Commission (EC) on Friday reserved its order on the symbol war between Samajwadi Party (SP) chief Mulayam Singh Yadav and his son Akhilesh Yadav.
 
The hearing lasted for over four hours as the Court heard both sides of the arguments. The decision on which group will get the party symbol will be announced later.
 
The Akhilesh camp was represented by senior lawyer Kapil Sibal who argued that majority of MPs, MLAs and MLCs along with SP delegates are in support of Akhilesh.
 
Both the Akhilesh and Mulayam camp had approached EC last week staking claim over the party symbol - bicycle following a split in the party.
