This article offers an examination of the evolving legal frameworks and judicial interpretations surrounding the right to die in India, deeply contextualized within the country’s ancient religious and cultural traditions. Through an exploration of landmark cases from Gian Kaur vs. State of Punjab (1996) to Common Cause vs. Union of India (2018), alongside legislative developments such as the Mental Healthcare Act, 2017, and the revised Indian Penal Code, this study delves into the complex interplay between individual autonomy, state interest, and bioethical considerations. The article integrates perspectives from Hinduism, Jainism, and contemporary bioethics, offering a holistic view of the right to die with dignity within both legal and spiritual contexts. The analysis is supported by references from authoritative books, journal articles, and legal documents, culminating in a scholarly narrative that spans historical, legal, and religious dimensions.
