    The Padma Awards, along with the Bharat Ratna, were suspended twice. The first time was in 1978, when Indian Prime Minister Morarji Desai’s government contended that the awards did not conform with Article 18 (Abolition of Titles) of the Indian Constitution, which states: “No title, not being a military or academic distinction, shall be conferred by the State.” The awards were reinstated in January 1980, when former prime minister Indira Gandhi returned to office. The awards were suspended again between 1992 and 1997, following litigation that questioned their constitutional validity, again citing Article 18, and were reinstated after the Supreme Court ruled that the Bharat Ratna and the Padma Awards are not titles as defined by Article 18 of the Constitution of India and that they are national in character.
