How do I find court cases under Section 160 of the Finance Act?

In judgments and charge sheets this section is written several ways, and each form finds a different set of orders.

What should I read with Section 160 of the Finance Act, and has it changed?

Its own text turns on section 2 (Income-tax), section 11 (Amendment of section 13A), section 12 (Amendment of section 23), section 78 (Amendment of section 244A), and on 1 further provision, so none of them can safely be read on its own.
