Provision, a provision is a distinct rule or principle of law in a statute which governs the situation covered by it. So an incomplete idea, even though stated in the form of a s. of a statute, cannot be said to be a provision for, by its incompleteness, it cannot really be said to provide a whole rule or principle for observance by those concerned. A provision or law cannot therefore be said to exist if it is incomplete, for then it provides nothing, Chettiam Veettil Ammed v. Taluk Land Board, AIR 1979 SC 1573 (1577): (1980) 1 SCC 499.
