Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: C

Explanation

Both statements are correct. Regarding Statement 1, in the landmark L. Chandra Kumar vs. Union of India (1997) case, the Supreme Court ruled that the power of judicial review over the decisions of Tribunals is part of the basic structure of the Constitution. Therefore, orders of the Central Administrative Tribunal (CAT) can be challenged before the Division Bench of the concerned High Court under Article 226/227.

Regarding Statement 2, under Section 17 of the Administrative Tribunals Act, 1985, the Tribunal has been expressly conferred with the same jurisdiction, powers, and authority in respect of contempt of itself as a High Court. This means it can exercise powers under the Contempt of Courts Act, 1971, to maintain its dignity and ensure compliance with its orders.
