Assessment
Reliability Tier1
Tier one: Indian Kanoon is a widely used, freely accessible Indian case-law and statute database that reproduces Section 295A's enacted text verbatim rather than paraphrasing it, and is cited as a primary-text mirror the way courts and legal scholars in India themselves use it. Citation
