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 1999 1, section 1 Finance Act 1999, 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.

Its own text turns on section 2 (Income-tax), section 6 (Amendment of section 10), section 99 (Amendment of section 22), so none of them can safely be read on its own.
