Irregularity
Irregularity, disorder, departure from rule. By (English) R.S.C. 1883, Ord. LXX., non-compliance with the rules renders proceedings liable to be set aside as irregular, but does not render them void unless the Court or a judge so direct. Order LIV., r. 24, of the (English) County Court Rules, 1903, is to the same effect.The word 'irregularity' in common English parlance means and implies contrary to rule, Rambhau v.

State of J&K, (1994) 4 SCC 422 (432)....
Illegal, incorrect or irregular decree and void decree
Illegal, incorrect or irregular decree and void decree, the distinction between a decree which is void and a decree which is wrong, incorrect, irregular or not in accordance with law cannot be overlooked or ignored. Where a court lacks inherent jurisdiction in passing a decree or making an order, a decree or order passed by such court would be without jurisdiction, non est and void ab initio. A defect of jurisdiction of the court goes to the root of the matter and strikes at the very authority of the court to pass a decree or make an order. Such defect has always been treated as basic and fundamental and a decree or order passed by a court or an authority having no jurisdiction is a nullity. Validity of such decree or order can be challenged at any stage, even in execution or collateral proceedings. All irregular or wrong decrees or orders are not necessarily null and void. An erroneous or illegal decision, which is not void, cannot be objected in execution or collateral proceedings, B...
