Sir I gave complaint to Police Station about my wife's suicide attempt( she is alive), but they refuse to register case u/s 309 IPC. They regd. case against me u/s 498A IPC based on complaint of my in-laws.
So I want to know whether IPC 309 is decriminalised or not?

Section 309 is still in the Statute Book. And it is a cognizable offence.
