The scan itself is mirrored into our own storage and served at /scan/84dd9ee7-38ab-472c-ac58-548a8d7df5a6.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/b1490a87-ed8d-4ced-8ce7-809e3de62306/content).
