Distinction between irregularity and nullity in cpc

Distinction between irregularity and nullity in cpc

 
In Ashutosh Sikdar v. Behari Lal Kirtania(1), Mookerjee, J., after referring to Macnamara on "Nullity and Irregulari- ties", observed :
no hard and fast line can be drawn between a nullity and an irregularity; but this much is clear, that an irregularity is a deviation from a rule of law which does not take away the foundation or authority for the proceeding, or apply to its whole operation, whereas a nullity is a proceeding that is taken without any foundation for it, or is so essentially defective as to be of no avail or effect whatever, or is void and incapable of being validated."
