Whether sitting on hunger strike amounts to offence of attempt to commit suicide?

 The mere fact that the petitioner has protested by sitting on

hunger strike will not attract the offence under Section 309 IPC. Even if the

materials available on record are taken as it is, it does not constitute an

offence under Section 309 IPC.
