This document contains the Supreme Court of India's judgment in Smt. Gian Kaur vs. The State of Punjab, delivered on 21 March 1996. The case critically examines the constitutional validity of Section 306 of the Indian Penal Code concerning the abetment of suicide, particularly in light of the interpretation of Article 21 of the Constitution regarding the 'right to die'. It reviews previous judgments and arguments presented by legal counsel, including the Attorney General and senior advocates, to reach its conclusion. This judgment is crucial for understanding the legal stance on assisted suicide and its relation to fundamental rights in India.
