Noun + いかんにかかわらず
Explanation
いかんにかかわらず is used to state that the result, rule, or action does not change, no matter how the condition turns out.
It emphasizes that the condition mentioned is irrelevant to the outcome. Unlike いかんでは / いかんによっては, which indicate that results depend on a condition, いかんにかかわらず explicitly states that the condition has no effect.
This grammar is mainly used in formal or written Japanese, such as regulations, policies, announcements, and official explanations.
