Answer:
Because jury may mislead or provide intentional support. So verdict becomes wrong.
Explanation:
- First we have to know about Jury system and Nanavati case in 1959.
- Jury system means a group of common citizen involve in fact checking of the case and provide judgment by that common citizens in spite of judges.
- Nanavati was a navy officer married Sylvia. It was said that Sylvia had relationship with her relative Ahuja when Nanavati engaged at navy. Nanavati killed Ahuja when he came to know.
- This case came under jury council. Everyone knows Nanavati found guilty. But Jury verdicted that Nanavati was not guilty and he killed Ahuja due to sudden provocation.
- Bombay high court and supreme court charged him and provided life imprisonment.
- So supreme court cancelled jury system because of their misleading and support of wrongdoing.
- It was called by amendment in criminal procedure code in 1973.
