2. Statement 2 is false. Article 125(2) states that the salaries, privileges, allowances, and rights in respect of leave of absence and pension of Judges of the Supreme Court “shall be such as may be determined by and by or under law made by Parliament”. The Constitution itself does not prescribe the specific conditions, but empowers Parliament to do so.
