Hello,

Attempting suicide is no longer a crime in India with the health ministry notifying on May 29 the Mental Healthcare Act 2017 that decriminalises it.

Dear Sir 

As I dealt with several cases during my judicial service. it is dangerous situation requires the help of experienced lawyer. Don't neglect it. 

1. Attempting to commit suicide is a crime as per Indian Law.

2. You shall have to appear before the Court through your Advocate on te next date of hearing to submit that you are psychologically out of your mind to commit the said act for which you are now taking treatment and should be pardoned considering it a medical disorder. 

As per IPC section 309, attempt to suicide is commission of an offence which is punishable with simple imprisonment up to one year or fine or both.

1. Under Section 309 IPC attempted suicide is an offence. The Supreme Court has recommended repeal of this section. Similar demands have come from many other quarters.

2. While Section 309 IPC has not been repealed it stands practically whittled down in view of Mental Healthcare Act. Section 115 of Mental Healthcare Act runs as under:-

Section 115. PRESUMPTION OF SEVERE STRESS IN CASE OF ATTEMPT TO COMMIT SUICIDE.

(1) Notwithstanding anything contained in section 309 of the Indian Penal Code any person who attempts to commit suicide shall be presumed, unless proved otherwise, to have severe stress and shall not be tried and punished under the said Code.

(2) The appropriate Government shall have a duty to provide care, treatment and rehabilitation to a person, having severe stress and who attempted to commit suicide, to reduce the risk of recurrence of attempt to commit suicide.

3. Hence, in view of the provision of Mental Healthcare Act, Section 309 IPC is technically redundant. You may file a petition for quashing of FIR in the High Court.

hello

       suicide was a  criminal offense but now the offense has been repealed from the statute book and therefore suicide survivors are provided counseling sessions. you cannot be booked now. the police cannot register a case.

1) When S.309 is repealed, a person cannot be punished for abetment of attempt to commit suicide. Regarding abetment, the offence is completed irrespective of the successful culmination of the offence abetted. So the Government has to legislate on the basis of the recommendation of Law Commission that when repealing S.309, persons assisting or encouraging another person to (attempt to) commit suicide must not go unpunished.

2) Attempted suicide was decriminalized with the passage of the Mental Healthcare Bill.

3) The relevant provision of the Mental Healthcare Bill states: "Notwithstanding anything contained in section 309 of the Indian Penal Code, any person who attempts to commit suicide shall be presumed, unless proved otherwise, to have severe stress and shall not be tried and punished under the said Code."

As per Section 309. Attempt to commit suicide: Whoever attempts to commit suicide and does any act towards the commission of such offence, shall be punished with simple imprisonment for a term which may extend to one year or with fine, or with both.
