hi pratik.........

IN case of DT case laws you have to remember exactly the punch points and related sections given in ICAI's rtp.

if u can write down exact punch points then there is no need to quote the name of case law.

i know ca final students who got exemptions in DT & IDT without even quoting name of a single case law.

if you quote the case law it shall give a good impression on the the examiner and people say that there are 0.5 marks for mentioning the case law.

I HAD MENTIONED THE CASE LAWS IN NOV 2011 EXAM AND HAD SCORED 66.
