Analysis and Conclusion:
Courts across various jurisdictions consistently affirm that no valid order, award, or proceedings can be passed against a dead person or a deceased society. Such actions are considered null and void, violating natural justice principles. Exceptions are rare and typically require explicit statutory provisions; otherwise, the default legal stance is that actions against deceased entities lack legal efficacy.
