ABSTRACT

This research examined the constitutional analysis of Euthanasia and Santhra. We aim to understand whether Santhra comes under the ambit of the right to die with dignity, as Euthanasia does. Currently, Santhra’s legal status is debated and not explicitly settled in constitutional law or court decisions. Our methodology includes legal foundations, such as constitutional law and court decisions, as primary sources. Secondary sources include law books, scholarly writings, and research papers, to analyse constitutional doctrines such as essential religious practices. Our main research is based on laws and past court decisions on euthanasia. We conducted a survey to understand people’s discernment on euthanasia, santhara, dignity, autonomy, and religious freedom to ensure unbiased results. Our key findings include the evolution of the right to die through landmark cases. As well as people’s responses in the form. A comparative case study approach was used to examine different perspectives on euthanasia and Santhra. We have used a comparative analysis approach to analyse the legal and constitutional distinction between Enthanasia and Santhra within the broader framework of fundamental rights and Judicial reasoning.
