Explanation:
The correct answer is option 'A' - Only 1.
Statement 1: The maximum number of Judges of the Supreme Court of India is prescribed in the Constitution of India.
The Constitution of India in Article 124 provides for the establishment and composition of the Supreme Court. Article 124(1) states that the Supreme Court shall consist of a Chief Justice of India and such number of other Judges as may be determined by Parliament.
The Constitution does not prescribe a specific maximum number of Judges for the Supreme Court. Instead, it leaves it to the discretion of Parliament to determine the number of Judges. Over the years, the number of Judges in the Supreme Court has been increased through legislation to meet the changing workload and requirements of the judiciary.
Therefore, the first statement is incorrect.
Statement 2: The maximum number of Members of the Union Public Service Commission is prescribed in the Constitution of India.
The Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) is a constitutional body established under Article 315 of the Constitution of India. Article 316 of the Constitution provides for the composition of the UPSC.
According to Article 316(1), the UPSC shall consist of a Chairman and other Members appointed by the President of India. The Constitution does not prescribe a specific maximum number of Members for the UPSC. It only specifies that the UPSC shall consist of a Chairman and other Members, without putting any limit on the number of Members.
Therefore, the second statement is incorrect.
In conclusion, both statements are incorrect. The maximum number of Judges of the Supreme Court and Members of the Union Public Service Commission is not prescribed in the Constitution of India.
