The most accurate set of law reports is now the most complete!
With the publishing of SCCTM1950-68, Supreme Court Cases promises to fulfill a long felt need for a single, complete and reliable source of the entire Supreme Court case law. With the reporting of the judgments of 1950-68, that have shaped the present Indian jurisprudence, Supreme Court CasesTM now becomes the most comprehensive and accurate reference of Supreme Court case-law anywhere.
Nearly 70 Not Reported Judgments, are reported in just the first four volumes of the years 1950 to 1952.
The volumes of SCCTM 1950-1968 will not only report non-reportable judgments but also many unreported judgments for the first time which are not available in any of the currently available main law reports. The quantum of such Not Reported Judgments is apparent from the Comparative Table given in each of the volumes
1. The most complete set of Supreme Court case-law from 1950 till date
The complete SCCTM set from 1950 till date now provides all the case-law of the Supreme Court since the founding of the Indian Supreme Court, starting from the first case heard in the Republic of India, till present time- it is truly a one-stop-shop for the entire Supreme Court case law, filling the gap where a dire need of a quality law report like SCCTM was always felt. Now, one complete set of Supreme Court CasesTM will be enough to access the complete Supreme Court case-law. SCCTM is your exclusive repository of Supreme Court case-law.
2. Trademark quality of SCCTM maintained, cite with confidence
The untiring efforts that are taken to maintain the precision and accuracy for which SCCTM is well-known and well-accepted, has been maintained as the core DNA of the SCCTM 1950-68 as well. So, you can cite from these volumes in court with the same confidence as you have while citing from any other SCCTM volumes available with you before.
3. Comparing precedential value between later and former decisions
Date-wise reporting of cases in chronological order, to help ascertain the later cases which affect precedential value of former cases.
4. Cross-reference to current new statutes which repealed earlier statutes in force during 1950-1968.
One can immediately get from the headnote the reference of the new statute from the old statute reference. This will help locate cases under the repealed Acts from corresponding provisions of the new Acts currently in force.
5. All cases of any one year are reported in a single volume or set of volumes for easy reference.
Exhaustiveness of SCCTM Headnotes
SCCTM 1950-68 contains headnotes that have been prepared after thorough and careful analysis ensuring that no point of law is missed - maximum rulings from each case, intelligently classified topic-wise and statute-wise, in the subject index along with multiple cross-references making them conveniently accessible to the reader. Many hitherto unknown rulings have been extracted.
Editorial Notes
Incisive editorial notes in important judgments reported elaborate upon the subsequent treatment of cases pronounced over the years or provide valuable clarificatory inputs.
Comparative tables
Since many cases were reported in later years in the other journals, care has been taken to provide their reverse comparative tables for locating such cases in the proper designated SCCTM volume governed by its date of decision.
Index
Well-crafted, detailed Index System with sub-divisions up to several levels enables pinpointed access to the exact rulings sought for within SCCTM.
* Bench strength printed at the beginning of each case, is indicative of its precedential binding value.
* Prominent mention of overruled cases and rulings.
* Cross-citations and additional references to the judgments cited makes the search for rulings easy and convenient.
* Complete annotation of cited cases whether relied, followed, distinguishable or overruled, etc.
Aesthetic Excellence
Each volume is beautifully bound in foam leather and labelled with gilt edged labels. The volumes of the Supreme Court CasesTM 1950-68 provide a professional ambience and uniformity to your library and also equip you with an edge over your competitors. Excellent paper, printing and binding makes this publication a useful and prudent investment.
It is heartening to learn that SCC has chosen to recommence its journey by going back to 1950, covering the entire period from 1950-68. The reader would have the advantage of law laid by the Apex Court between 1950-68 also being available as published with the editorial touch of qualities which belong to SCC. It will prove to be a great service, rather a boon, to the legal profession.

Justice Dalveer Bhandari,
Judge, International Court of Justice

Two features of new batch of volumes covering the early years of the Supreme Court stand out. One is the reporting of several decisions which have never been reported in any other law reports.
