Finin2min implementation
Every publication record carries a source status and robots directive. Pages without a captured official judgment and paragraph pinpoints remain noindex,follow. Official AAR/AAAR index records and current GSTAT operational pages may be indexed where the page clearly discloses the limited scope of the metadata.
Finin2min Q&A
Can the case summary replace the judgment?
No. The full official judgment, exact paragraph and later history control.
What is the amendment-survival test?
Compare the provision and Rule decided with the current text, effective date and retrospective amendments.
How should contrary High Court decisions be handled?
Apply the jurisdictional hierarchy, identify conflict, check Supreme Court treatment and disclose the competing view.
