Option 1 states that the Report of the Administrative Reforms Commission, headed by late Morarji Desai, recommended the establishment of Lokpal and Lokayukta institutions. This statement is correct. The Administrative Reforms Commission, in its report submitted in 1966, indeed recommended the establishment of these institutions to address issues of corruption and misconduct in the government.

Option 2 states that Lokpal is the highest institution in India to investigate corruption at higher places in government. This statement is also correct. Lokpal is an anti-corruption authority that has jurisdiction over ministers, Members of Parliament, and high-ranking government officials. It has the power to investigate allegations of corruption against these individuals.

Therefore, both statements 1 and 2 are correct. The Report of the Administrative Reforms Commission did recommend the establishment of Lokpal and Lokayukta institutions, and Lokpal is indeed the highest institution in India to investigate corruption at higher levels of government.
