observed as under:
"51. We may note with profit that honour killings are condemned as a
serious human rights violation and are addressed by certain international
instruments. The Council of Europe Convention on Preventing and
Combating Violence Against Women and Domestic Violence addresses this
issue. Article 42 reads thus:
"Article 42 - Unacceptable justifications for crimes, including crimes
committed in the name of socalled "honour" 44
(1) Parties shall take the necessary legislative or other measures to ensure
that, in criminal proceedings initiated following the commission of any of
the acts of violence covered by the scope of this Convention, culture, custom,
religion, tradition or socalled "honour" shall not be regarded as
justification for such acts. This covers, in particular, claims that the victim

of appropriate behaviour.

52. Once the fundamental right is inherent in a person, the intolerant
groups who subscribe to the view of superiority class complex or higher clan
cannot scuttle the right of a person by leaning on any kind of philosophy,
moral or social, or selfproclaimed elevation. Therefore, for the sustenance

and keeping in view the role of this Court as the guardian and protector of
the constitutional rights of the citizens and further to usher in an
atmosphere where the fear to get into wedlock because of the threat of the
collective is dispelled, it is necessary to issue directives and we do so on the
foundation of the principle stated in Lakshmi Kant Pandey v. Union of
India15, Vishaka and others v. State of Rajasthan and others 16 and
Prakash Singh and others v. Union of India and others17.

"16. Though such amendments have been made by Parliament under the
1950 Act and the 1957 Act, yet no such amendment has been incorporated
in the Air Force Act, 1950. The aforesaid provisions, as we perceive, have
been incorporated in both the statutes to avoid hardship to persons
convicted by the Court Martial. Similar hardship is suffered by the persons
who are sentenced to imprisonment under various provisions of the Act.
