Explanation:

In India, matters related to the constitutionality of an amendment act can be referred by the SC to its constitutional bench.

However, the Constitution (Forty-second Amendment) Act, 1976, inserted various articles in the Constitution to curtail, both directly and indirectly, the jurisdiction of the Supreme Court and the High Courts to review the constitutionality of laws.

As per Article 128 of Indian Constitution, the Chief Justice of India may at any time, with the previous consent of the President, request any person to sit and act as a Judge of the Supreme Court with the following qualifications:

Who has held the office of a Judge of the Supreme Court.
Who has held the office of a Judge of a High Court and is duly qualified for appointment as a Judge of the Supreme Court.

Hence both statements are correct.
