Dear Mr. Shah Sir,

Will you please elaborate the reply?

eg. In a judgement, a case when first cited will be referred to as ABC v. Union Territory of Delhi, AIR 2011 SC XXXX. The next time the case is cited as ABC v. Union Territory of Delhi, supra.

In other words, the term, "supra" is used to avoid any reference repeatedly after it is quoted once in any judgment or text.
