Explanation:

Statement 1 and 3: They are drawn from both judicial and administrative streams appointed by the president.Statement 2: With the amendment in Administrative Tribunals Act, 1985 in 2006, the members have been given the status of judges of High Courts.

Statement 4: Originally, appeals against the orders of the CAT could be made only in the Supreme Court and not in the high courts.
