The correct answer is option 2, which states that statements 1 and 2 are both correct.

Statement 1: It is an alternative non-judicial channel - This means that NHRC is an independent body that functions outside of the regular court system. It provides a platform for individuals to bring forward their complaints of human rights violations without going through the traditional legal process.

Statement 2: Victims of human rights violations can seek reparation through NHRC - This implies that individuals who have experienced human rights abuses can approach the NHRC to seek justice and compensation for the harm they have suffered. The NHRC has the authority to investigate these complaints and take appropriate action.

Statement 3: It cannot grant immediate relief - This statement is incorrect. The NHRC has the power to grant interim relief to victims of human rights violations. This relief may include compensation, medical assistance, or any other measures necessary to provide immediate assistance to the victims.

Statement 4: It has the direct power of enforcement - This statement is incorrect. Although the NHRC has the power to investigate and recommend action, it does not have the direct authority to enforce its decisions. It can make suggestions and recommendations to other relevant authorities or institutions, but it is ultimately up to those entities
