Article 361(2) of the Constitution bars the institution or continuation of any criminal proceedings against a sitting Governor, satisfying statement 1. Article 158(4) expressly says that the Governor’s emoluments and allowances “shall not be diminished during his term of office,” validating statement 2. Therefore both statements are correct.
