पुढील विधाने वाचून योग्य पर्यायाची निवड करा.
(a) सरकारने 'आत्महत्येचा प्रयत्न' हा गुन्हा समजला जाऊ नये म्हणून भारतीय दंडसंहितेतून तशी तरतूद काढून टाकण्याचे ठरवले आहे.
(b) भारतीय दंडसंहिता, 1860 मधील कलम 309 प्रमाणे आत्महत्येच्या प्रयत्नात दोषी ठरलेल्या व्यक्तीला एका वर्षाचा तुरुंगवास आणि दंडाची तरतूद आहे.

The correct answer is Option C (Both).

Key Points:
• In December 2014, the Government of India accepted the Law Commission of India's 210th Report recommendations and decided to decriminalise attempt to commit suicide by repealing Section 309 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC).
• Statement (a) is correct: The government officially took steps to decriminalize attempt to suicide (later effectively provided via Section 115 of the Mental Healthcare Act, 2017).
• Statement (b) is correct: Section 309 of the IPC states that whoever attempts to commit suicide and does any act towards the commission of such offence shall be punished with simple imprisonment for a term which may extend to one year, or with fine, or with both.
• Since both statements are factually correct, Option (3) is the correct answer.
• Key Takeaway: Section 309 of IPC penalises suicide attempts with up to 1 year imprisonment/fine, which the government decided to decriminalise.
