Tarikh-i Daʾudi 4.4

4.4

So great was Sultán Sikandar's justice, that no man could even look sternly at another. His vakíl, Daryá Khán Lohání, was directed to remain all day, until the first watch of the night, on the seat of justice; the Kází with twelve of the 'Ulamá were always present within the King's own palace. All cases brought before the court of law were tried before these twelve wise men, who decided them and wrote decisions, of the nature of which the Sultán received immediate information. Certain young slaves were specially appointed for this service, and from morning until the close of the sitting, reports of everything that occurred in court were brought to His Majesty the instant it happened.
