{'delimitation commission': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'state legislative assembly': [0, 0, 1, 1], 'sabha': [0, 0, 1, 1], 'orders': [1, 0, 0, 2], 'court': [11, 1, 18, 32], 'modifications': [0, 0, 0, 1]}

The Delimitation Commission is a high-powered body responsible for redrawing the boundaries of parliamentary and assembly constituencies in India.

Statement 1 is correct as the orders of the Delimitation Commission cannot be challenged in any court of law. This is because the Delimitation Commission is a constitutional body established under Article 82 of the Constitution of India and its orders have the force of law.

Statement 2 is also correct as the orders of the Delimitation Commission, once laid before the Lok Sabha or State Legislative Assembly, cannot be modified by them. This is because the Delimitation Commission is an independent body and its decisions are final.

Therefore, both statements 1 and 2 are correct.
