Consider the following statements: 1. The 44th Amendment to the Constitution of India introduced an Article placing the election of the Prime Minister beyond judicial review. 2. The Supreme Court of India struck down the 99th Amendment to the Constitution of India as being violative of the independence of judiciary. Which of the statements given above is/are correct?

1. Statement 1 is incorrect. The 39th Amendment (1975) introduced Article 329A, which sought to place the election of the Prime Minister beyond judicial review. The 44th Amendment (1978) to the Constitution of India actually repealed this Article, restoring judicial scrutiny. 2. Statement 2 is correct. The 99th Amendment to the Constitution of India established the National Judicial Appointments Commission (NJAC). In 2015, the Supreme Court of India struck down the 99th Amendment in the case of *Supreme Court Advocates-on-Record Association vs. Union of India*, holding it to be violative of the basic structure doctrine, specifically impacting the independence of the judiciary. 3. Therefore, only statement 2 is correct.
