Law in force and existing law
Law in force and existing law, there is hardly any material difference between 'an existing law' and 'a law in force'. Quite apart from Article 366(10) of the Constitution, the expression 'Indian law' has itself been defined in s. 3(29) of the General Clauses Act as meaning any Act, Ordinance, regulation, rule, order, or bye-law which before the commencement of the Constitution had the force of law in any province of India or part thereof. The words 'law in force' as used in Article 372 are wide enough to include not merely a legislative enactment but also any regulation or order which has the force of law, Edward Mills v. State of Ajmer, AIR 1955 SC 25 (31): (1955) 1 SCR 735. [Constitution of India, Articles 372 & 366(10)]...
