The scan itself is mirrored into our own storage and served at /scan/bfd00cad-d776-44a4-aa48-9957738413d6.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/14b5fe44-787d-4c48-9fcf-aaa952af10ca/content).
