Therefore, based on the given statements, only statement 1 is correct, and statement 2 is incorrect.

Alert - correct answer should be option 4: Neither 1 nor 2. The provided answer is incorrect. The correct explanation is that neither statement 1 nor statement 2 is correct. The correct order in the Warrant of Precedence is: Chief Justice of India precedes Governors of States, and Members of Parliament precede Officers of the rank of Lieutenant General or equivalent rank.
