The former Supreme Court judge, who is also an ordained Parsi priest, was asked to what extent it would be right for a judge to bring his own religious beliefs while deciding a case.
Justice Gautam S Patel has been hearing the suit for final disposal since November last year. In 2014, the 52nd Dai-al-Mutlaq, Syedna Mohammad Burhanuddin, passed away, and his son, Mufaddal Saifuddin, succeeded him. This was challenged by Syedna's half-brother, Khuzaima Qutbuddin, in the HC.
