(c) whether and to what extent any such rule is rendered null and void by section 71 , | ||
shall be determined by the Board on application to it in writing in that behalf by a person who, in relation to the scheme, corresponds to a person mentioned in section 38 (3) in relation to the scheme mentioned therein. | ||
