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 1982 1, section 1 Finance Act 1982, 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 29 (Amendment of section 272A), section 30 (Amendment of section 279), section 31 (Insertion of new Twelfth Schedule), and on 2 further provisions, so none of them can safely be read on its own.
