As we age, we may face health challenges that make us reliant on others. Imagine a scenario where I become severely ill and require constant care, unable to perform daily tasks. In such a situation, I would prefer not to live a life entirely dependent on others. Could you please guide me on the legal process of registering a document that allows for a painless, compassionate end-of-life option with my consent, if such a situation arises?

Indian law does not currently allow for legally binding advance directives or “living wills” that specify end-of-life choices. While the Supreme Court has recognized the right to a dignified death, there’s no clear legal framework for accessing assisted suicide or euthanasia. Therefore, you can’t register a document guaranteeing a painless end-of-life option in India.

My family bought a 200 square yard plot in Hyderabad back in 1993. We’ve always maintained it, but last year we found someone building on it! We checked the records and discovered five registrations between 2006 and 2015, even though our own 2008 record showed nothing. It seems someone’s trying to grab our land, even a retired registrar is involved! We hoped a relative could help, but after a year nothing has changed. They’ve divided our plot into 100-yard pieces, even built a small building on one! What can I do to reclaim our land?
