Acts / Laws which are referred in a judgment

Sushanta (Querist) 23 August 2009 This query is : Resolved
Hello All,

Could someone please tell me, how to know which are the ACTs/Laws or relevent to a given judgment. I am reading a judgment available at "http://www.commonlii.org/in/cases/INSC/".

1:-- I can see that there is subheading "ACT:" , so is it sufficient only to consider this field only or I need to go inside ?
2:-- Apart from this, is there any format by which the ACTs are mentioned , if yes what is that ?
