Exhaustiveness of SCC^TM Headnotes

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 SCC^TM volume governed by its date of decision.

Index

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.
