"These delegates... act like jury and the case is decided by majority decision. It is a fact that Parsi chief matrimonial court sits only once or twice a year... only for a short duration. In view of increase in divorce petitions, jury as a fact finding body practically impedes speedy justice," Irani said and requested the SC to do away with the jury system.

"Thus, the fundamental right to life and liberty, which includes the right to speedy justice, is being denied to a particular community..." Irani said.
