  • IPC though not applicable to JK, a similar law without any changes is made for the state. Thus the offense is cognizable.

  • Section 309 of Indian Penal Code lays down the consequence of attempted suicide. In case he/she fails to die, the maximum punishment that can be awarded to him/her is simple imprisonment for one year,or fine or both. However, IPC does not extend to J&K. The reason behind this punishment is that life is considered to be a state property, not someone's private property and whoever tries to take it is punishable by law. This Section (309 IPC) is purely Constitutional.
