B. 2 only
C. Both 1 and 2
D. Neither 1 nor 2

💡 Solution & Explanation

Article 112(3) and Article 146 ensure financial independence by charging Supreme Court salaries upon the Consolidated Fund of India, exempting them from parliamentary voting. Article 121 explicitly prohibits any discussion in Parliament regarding judicial conduct except during impeachment motions, making statement two incorrect. Article 211 imposes similar restrictions on state legislatures.
