The prosecution had termed the case as the &#8220;rarest of the rare&#8221; and pleaded for capital punishment to the six convicts for killing Manoj (23) and Babli (19), who hailed from Karora village in Kaithal district and had got married on May 18, 2007.<\/p>\n<p>Last Thursday, the court had convicted them for murdering the couple of the same &#8216;gotra&#8217; (sub-caste) in 2007. Another person was held guilty of abduction and the quantum of punishment in his case was also reserved. It is the first case in which the boy&#8217;s family had moved court against the honour killing after the &#8216;khap&#8217; panchayat (caste-based council) had ruled against the couple&#8217;s marriage.<\/p>\n<p>Those sentenced to death are the girl&#8217;s brother Suresh, uncles Rajender and Baru Ram and her cousins Gurdev and Satish besides leader of the panchayat Ganga Raj who was given life imprisonment. A driver Mandeep Singh was convicted of kidnapping and awarded a seven year prison term.<\/p>\n<p>Public prosecutor Sunil Rana described the court verdict as landmark judgement as khap panchayats &#8220;are acting against the law. They are taking law into their own hands and despite protection of the courts, innocent couples are being murdered&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p><!-- google_ad_section_end --><script type=\"text\/javascript\">\/\/ <![CDATA[\nvar zz=0;var sldsh=0;\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tvar bellyaddiv = '\n\n\n<div id=\"sshow\">\n\n\n<div style=\"margin-top:4px;margin-right:8px;margin-bottom:4px;float:left;display:inline;\">\n\n\n<div id=\"bellyad\"><\/div>\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n';\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tvar wid;var im;\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tvar stindex=100;\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tvar stp=150;\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tvar taglen=0;\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tvar tmp;\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tvar tagcheck = new Array(\"div\",\"span\",\"br\",\"font\",\"a\");\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tvar storycontent = document.getElementById(\"storydiv\").innerHTML;\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tvar firstpara = storycontent.substring(0,storycontent.toLowerCase().indexOf(\"\")).toLowerCase();\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tfunction findptt(cnt){\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tzz++;\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tif(zz == 10)return;\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tvar xxx=-1,yyy=-1;\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tvar ccnt = cnt;\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tfor(ii=0;
