HOW TO FIND

Equivalent Citation Table is a useful tool to know the parallel citations

of cases published in different journals. Presently, no Equivalent Citation Table
is available which may provide equivalent citation of the cases which are
reported in Supreme Court Reports. In order to facilitate and enhance the use
of official publication of the Court namely “Supreme Court Reports” this
“Equivalent Citation Table” has been compiled by the Supreme Court
Judges Library.

From this Table Equivalent Citations of Supreme Court Reports of any

case reported in the four major Law Journals namely, Supreme Court Cases,
AIR (SC), JT and SCALE can be obtained.

This Equivalent Citation Table is in four volumes:-

1 Volume 1 - AIR (SC) = SCR = SCC = JT = SCALE

2 Volume 2 - SCC = SCR = AIR (SC) = JT = SCALE

3 Volume 3 - JT = SCR = SCC = AIR (SC) = SCALE

4 Volume 4 - SCALE = SCR = SCC = AIR (SC) = JT

All the Citations have been arranged in chronological sequence, in

ascending order of pagination. For example, if an equivalent citation of 1950
AIR 211 is to be obtained, one has to see in the year 1950 in volume 1 and then
in the ascending order of pagination, he will find that equivalent citation of this
in SCR as 1950 SCR 519. For reaching the page from which citations of a
particular year begins, help of “Index” may be taken.

This table contains the equivalent citations from 1950 till date and will
be updated from time to time. An “Index” indicating page number, from which
citations of a particular year begins, has also been provided in each volume.
