Solution

The correct option is B 2 only

Explanation:

  • Statement 1 is incorrect. The Chairperson of the NHRC can be either a retired Chief Justice of India or a retired judge of the Supreme Court. Before the amendment, only a retired CJI could have been the chairperson of the NHRC.
  • Statement 2 is correct. The term of the office has been reduced to 3 years from 5 years or 70 years whichever is earlier.
