Query regarding Supreme court judgments

Hello Friends,

I am  not  a  Law student,  but form my research work  , I am analysing the supreme court of India judgments available at  https://www.commonlii.org/in/cases/INSC/ .

       Could you please tell me how to know :---

How many judgments are rreferring to a given judgment ? 

In other words, if  there is a judgment given  in 1970, so  how can we know , how many judgments which were delivered  after 1970, has referred to that particular judgment ?

 Thanks in advance.

You can not find this information on the website you have referred to. There are other websites like Indlaw.com, manupatra, scconline etc who provide this information. These are paid sites.

try to look into SC website.

www.supremecourtofindia.nic.in

 

if u dont find any info there then, make an application under RTI with the Registrar of the SC, whatever judgments are reported are reported with the permission of the court.

 

or u may take this information individually from the popular publishers.
