A Correct answer
Explanation

Subhas Chandra Bose died in 1945 under mysterious circumstances. When the Bharat Ratna was posthumously awarded to him in 1992, it was challenged in court because the award regulations at the time did not permit posthumous awards (this rule was later changed). The legal complexity regarding his death and the award's validity led to the award being annulled by the Supreme Court in 1997 and remains unawarded to this day.
