How do I find court cases under Section 1 of the Finance Act?

In judgments and charge sheets this section is written several ways, and each form finds a different set of orders. These search the full text of every order eCourtsIndia holds, best matches first: Finance Act 1966 1, section 1 Finance Act 1966, section 1 of the Finance Act. Each opens the full list of orders on eCourtsIndia, where it can be narrowed by court, year and outcome.

What should I read with Section 1 of the Finance Act, and has it changed?

Its own text turns on section 2 (Income-tax), section 43 (Amendment of Act 7 of 1964), section 52 (Amendment of Act 63 of 1960), section 53 (Amendment of Act 52 of 1963), so none of them can safely be read on its own.
