Refer a text book of contract act with commentaries. You can get a lot of case laws with respect to each and every sections.

Nothing to add in the already given advice.

Hi, I am assuming you do not have access to www.manupatra.com, which is the best source of Indian case laws in all the spheres of law and not provided by traditional universities in India. All the National Law Universities and law firms provide access of same to their students and associates and rely completely on it.

You may contact them and ask for cost of the software. They may offer a deal for student(s). This software is slightly costly and you may request your college to approach them and ask for a deal, as it will be the most beneficial thing for you and other students in future.

For immediate help, you may refer to:
1. http://www.judis.nic.in/
2. Delhi High Court website to access cases - they uploaded on daily basis as compared to other state high courts, but you may check on other high courts' site also.
3. Someone has suggested http://indiankanoon.org/ in thread above and is also a good source.
4.I am sure hard cover of all AIR and other cases are available in your college library and you may do a section wise search there.
5. Go to http://supremecourtcaselaw.com/ for Supreme Court case laws
6.http://www.legalservicesindia.com/judgments/supreme_court.htm
7. For foreign case laws and selected Indian cases, you may refer westlaw and lexis nexis, both paid software and findlaw.com.

Hope this information helps.
