With reference to Indian judiciary, consider the following statements : 1. Any retired judge of the Supreme Court of India can be called back to sit and act as a Supreme Court judge by the Chief Justice of India with prior permission of the President of India. 2. A High Court in India has the power to review its own judgement as the Supreme Court does. Which of the statements given above is/are correct?

Statement 1 is correct under Article 128, which empowers the Chief Justice of India to request a retired judge to sit in the Supreme Court with the President's prior consent, while Statement 2 is correct because High Courts, as "Courts of Record" under Article 215, possess inherent powers to review their own judgments. Option (a) is a common trap because while Article 137 explicitly grants review power to the Supreme Court, the High Court’s power is inherent and established through judicial precedence to prevent a miscarriage of justice. The core concept tested is the constitutional jurisdiction and administrative framework of the higher judiciary in India.
