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)]...

Chandra Shekhar Singh Bhoi, (1969) 2 SCC 334: AIR 1970 SC 398 (401). [Constitution of India, Art. 13]--the words 'law in force' as used in article 372 of the Constitution are wide enough to include not merely a legislative enactment but also any regulation or order which has the force of law. Edward Mills Co. Ltd. V State of Ajmer, AIR 1955 SC 25 (31): (1955) 1 SCR 735.

Utilisation of surplus area, the s. empowers the State Government or its authorised officer to 'utilise' any 'surplus area' for the resettlement of tenants, the Act does not define what is meant by an order of utilisation under the s.

Void
Void, 'the erosion of the distinction between juris-dictional errors and non-jurisdictional errors has, correspondingly eroded the distinction between void and voidable decision.
