Both mean the same thing. Such an order has retrospective effect and becomes invalid right from the date of the said order. The things which have been done in pursuance of and following that order would become futile and ineffective and invalid.

Quashing an order generally means an order made by a superior court to an inferior one, ordering that a case be referred to the superior court for review.

Set aside is the action of nullifying an order, decision or judgment by another order or decision or judgment of the same authority or a higher authority. By this action the position prior to the issue of original order is restored.
