The scan itself is mirrored into our own storage and served at /scan/8e62fbff-1310-457b-891e-54007bbdbbba.pdf, so the reading here can be checked against the page it came from without depending on India Code's own copy staying where it is (it was at https://indiacode.gov.in/server/api/core/bitstreams/502d31dc-5fac-40b1-975a-b9d1e44cd0af/content).
