How do I find court cases under Section 166 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 2017 166, section 166 Finance Act 2017, section 166 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 166 of the Finance Act, and has it changed?

Its own text turns on section 28 (Amendment of section 55), section 184 (Qualifications, appointment, term and conditions of service, salary and allowances, etc., of Chairperson, Vice-Chairperson and Members, etc., of the Tribunal, Appellate Tribunal and other Authorities), so none of them can safely be read on its own.
