NO PLACE IN SOCIETY FOR CITIZENS WHO PARTICIPATE IN THE BRAZEN ACT OF HONOUR KILLING The Allahabad High Court, while hearing a bail application in relation to Honor killing (Gulshan v State of UP) has stressed that, “there is no place for citizens in our society who act in derogation of the much-cherished constitutional values of individual liberty, and, instead, repose faith in archaic social values of family honor to an extent that they would go to eliminate a family member choosing a life partner for herself.” The counsel for the applicant in the given bail application submitted that the applicant’s role was of assaulting the injured witness and the role of shooting lied with the co-accused, and thus the applicants’ case is distinguishable and entitled to bail. While opposing the prayer, the learned AGA submitted that tthe assault as a whole wherein the applicant was a participant is a brazen act of honor killing by the family in an attempt to redeem their false notion of family honor. The court, thus held that, “the applicant was an active participant in the entire episode, though he may not have wielded the gun or inflicted the fatal injury.” No case of bail was made.
