Suicide and Liability under Criminal Law : Supreme Court Fixes the Liability

Suicide and Liability under Criminal Law : Supreme Court Fixes the Liability 

Dealing with a case of S.107 of IPC and S.306 of IPC, it is held at page 59 that "suicide in a suicide pact is conditional upon mutual participation of the other. In other words, if not for the active participation of both the parties, the act would not occur. The law treats such conduct as abetment because the State has a fundamental interest in preserving life."
