Statement 1 is correct: Article 128 allows the Chief Justice of India, with the President’s prior consent, to request any retired Supreme Court judge to sit and act as a judge of the Court. Statement 2 is also correct: as Courts of Record, High Courts can review their own judgments under Article 226, just as the Supreme Court can under Article 137. Hence both statements are valid.
