An example of the intent would be to protect a surgeon performing a risky but potentially life saving operation on conjoined twins where one of the twins dies as a result of the procedure. Under this law the surgeon couldn't be held responsible for the death assuming there wasn't some type of gross negligence. If it is used to allow people to beat the shit out of children then that's a problem with the way Indian courts apply the law, not necessarily with the law itself.Google is correct, and that law is important. A few months ago, an Indian doctor lost an eye when enraged relatives of the deceased attacked him for not being able to save the person. I'm not sure of that is entirely relevant, but basically what I'm trying to say is that such protections are necessary here.
Also keep in mind that wording is a translation from Hindi. It might not come across well.
However the Hindi thing: English is one of the two national languages of India and is used in all official proceedings. The first drafts of the Penal Code were drafted by British colonizers. So it's not a lost in translation type of thing for sure.
The word bed actually looks like a bed.
