Ab initio –

From the very beginning of the law/ act it was bad. Such a term is used in reference to the law, agreements, a deed executed between parties, marriage, etc. If something is said to be void ab initio, the thing was never created or void to begin with.

SC used the Latin term “ab initio” to arrive at a conclusion that the proceedings were ab initio defective as they could not have been instituted since the firm in whose name the proceedings were instituted was not registered at the date of the institution of the proceedings – Delhi Development Authority Vs Kochhar Construction Work & Ors.
