How do I find court cases under Section 14 of the Repatriation of Prisoners 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 14 of the Repatriation of Prisoners Act, and has it changed?

Its own text turns on section 6 (Comments of contracting State), section 7 (Consideration of request by Central Government), section 12 (Transfer into India), section 13 (Determination of prison and issue of warrant for receiving transfer in India), so none of them can safely be read on its own. 1 other provision in this corpus refers back to it.
