Official India Code text: The Indian Succession Act, 1925, English PDF (bitstream 123456789/19051/1/indian_succession_act_1925.pdf, 694,325 bytes, sha256 07fb374ab81026e8...) fetched directly from indiacode.nic.in (Akamai edge, DNS via dns.google) on 2026-08-03. This PDF brackets its footnotes with drawn rules and renders superscript markers inline ("1*50. General principles…"), both of which are handled at ingest (D-062). Section 52 is absent because this edition does not print it — its own footnote records sections 50 to 56 being substituted by Act 17 of 1939. Extracted via pdftotext 26.07 -bbox and the @nexlex/ingest inline parser. Automated parse; footnotes and amendment history excluded. Spot-verified against the PDF; full clause-level proofread pending.
