How do I find court cases under Section 25A of the Representation of the People 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: Representation of the People Act 25A, section 25A Representation of the People Act, section 25A of the Representation of the People 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 25A of the Representation of the People Act, and has it changed?

Its own text turns on section 15 (Electoral roll for every constituency), section 19 (Conditions of registration), section 21 (Preparation and revision of electoral rolls), section 25 (Fee for applications and appeals), so none of them can safely be read on its own. 1 other provision in this corpus refers back to it.
