(a) Within seven days after the moving party discovered or by the exercise of diligence could have discovered the grounds therefor, and in any event before the jury is sworn to try the case, a party may move to stay the proceedings and in a criminal case to quash the warrant or for other appropriate relief on the ground of substantial failure to comply with this article in selecting the jury.

If the Court determines that in selecting a jury there has been a substantial failure to comply with this article, the Court shall stay the proceedings pending the selection of the jury in conformity with this article, quash a warrant or grant other appropriate relief.
(c) In the absence of fraud, the procedures prescribed by this section are the exclusive means by which a person may challenge a jury on the ground that the jury was not selected in conformity with this article.
