Citation and Citator

Hello firends, I was going through the Indian Supreme court judgments at www.worldlii.org/in. I am having two questions regarding the same :---

1:-- I am seeing an entry like this,

CITATION: 1976 AIR 1115 1976 SCR (3) 247 1976 SCC (2) 181

CITATOR INFO : F 1977 SC 540 (14) Could somebody explain this ??

2:-- The recent judgments aren't having these entries, so what it means , they aren't cited till now ??

The first citation is that the case is published in All India Reporter of the year 1976 at page No.1115 (it appears, you missed the letters SC).  Next same judgment is published in Supreme Court Reporter in the year 1976, it its volume 3 at page No. 247.  Similarly, the same has been published in Supreme Court Cases in the year 1976 at its volume 2 at page no.181.  The last citation is the web page citation.

In the case of the latest judgments, the citation has not been given for the reason either those judgments are not published or the editors of the website have not referred those books and their citations may be given lateron.
