‘Honour killing': Court orders Haryana to pay compensation

-PTI

The Punjab and Haryana High Court has directed the Haryana Government to pay a compensation of Rs.6 lakh to the mother of a young man who was killed on the diktat of akhap panchayat (illegal village court) for marrying a girl belonging to the same ‘gotra' (lineage).

Manoj, 23, of Kaithal and his newly-wed wife Babli, 19, were killed in Kaithal district in 2007 allegedly on the diktat of Khap or caste council as they belonged to the same gotra or sub-caste.

Married

The two got married against the wishes of the girl's family on April 7, 2007.

Justice Ritu Bahri of the High Court has directed the government to pay a compensation of Rs.6 lakh to Manoj's mother Chanderpati.

On the plea of Manoj's mother, the High Court ruled she be paid Rs.3 lakh each as compensation for the death of her son Manoj and Babli.

The Court has held that the Haryana Government failed to provide security to the newly-wed couple despite the court orders. - PTI
