I have come across various case laws for different laws. I don't understand the meaning of certain abbreviations used. For e.g...   [ P.K. Damodran Vs. M. Kassim Kanju, 1993 , ILLJ 1211(ker.)]


I don't know the meaning of such highlighted part. How to know the meaning of such abbreviations used in various  case laws??

 Hi..

P.K. Damodran Vs. M. Kassim Kanju, 1993 , ILLJ 1211(ker.)] is the full citation name. this means that...

P.K. Damodran Vs. M. Kassim Kanju - this is the name of the assesses

1993 - is a year of this order passed

ILLJ 1211 - this is the name of the book or say co. publishing this case lawfor eg. like taxmann, manupatra, ITR are the major publishers for income tax case law books. these all are books or websites in which these case laws are published. if you are doing articleship, in your office, such kinds of books will be available.

1211 is the serial number / page no. of that case law given by the book "ILLJ" for eg. on page 245 of Vol. 1 of taxmann, this case law is given then its name would be "taxmann 245 vol. 1" this will be different for eacha dn every case law in each and every book.

ker. - ker. means it is passed by kerala high court.

Hope this is useful to you.
