Abstract: Suicide remains a complex socio-legal issue with profound implications for individuals, families, and society as a whole. This brief delves into the legal landscape surrounding suicides in India, providing a comprehensive analysis of relevant laws, legal precedents, and societal perspectives. In India, suicide has always been considered a social taboo, shrouded in stigma and misconceptions. However, recent years have seen a shift towards a deeper understanding, recognizing suicide as a multifaceted phenomenon, influenced by many social, economic and psychological factors. Legally, suicide was decriminalized in India with the repeal of Section 309 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) in 2018, recognizing that suicidal people often need help. compassion and support rather than sanctions. This repeal marks an important step toward de-stigmatizing mental health issues and promoting a more empathetic approach to suicide prevention and intervention. Despite this legal reform, challenges remain in effectively addressing the root causes of suicide and providing adequate mental health support services. The Mental Health Act 2017 seeks to address this gap by mandating the establishment of mental health facilities and protecting the rights of people with mental illness, including those at risk suicidal. Additionally, the judiciary played a key role in shaping the legal discourse surrounding suicide through landmark judgments that emphasized the protection of individual autonomy and the state's obligation to ensure access to mental health services. However, gaps in implementation and enforcement remain, especially in rural and marginalized communities where access to mental health resources is limited. Additionally, societal attitudes toward suicide continue to pose challenges, perpetuating stigma and hindering open dialogue and effective prevention efforts.
