Consider the following statements in respect of Bharat Ratna and Padma Awards:<br/>1. Bharat Ratna and Padma Awards are titles under the Article 18(1) of the Constitution of India.<br/>2. Padma Awards, which were instituted in the year 1954, were suspended only once.<br/>3. The number of Bharat Ratna Awards is restricted to a maximum of five in a particular year.<br/><br/>Which of the above statements are not correct?

1. Incorrect. Bharat Ratna and Padma Awards are not titles under Article 18(1); the Supreme Court in Balaji Raghavan v. Union of India (1995) held that these are civilian honours, not prohibited titles.

2. Incorrect. Padma Awards were instituted in 1954, but they were suspended twice: during 1977–1980 and again during 1992–1995.

3. Incorrect. The number of Bharat Ratna awards is restricted to a maximum of three in a year, not five.

Hence, all three statements are not correct.
