How do I find court cases under Section 7 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 2002 7, section 7 Finance Act 2002, section 7 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 7 of the Finance Act, and has it changed?

Its own text turns on section 10 (Amendment of section 14A), section 11 (Amendment of section 17), Income-tax Act 11 (Income from property held for charitable or religious purposes), so none of them can safely be read on its own.
