Explanation
★Both statements are incorrect, so the answer is that Statement I and Statement II are both false.
★The CVC was not a statutory body when set up in 1964 on the recommendation of the Santhanam Committee.
★It became a statutory body only in 2003, after the enactment of the CVC Act.
★The tenure of the CVC chairperson is four years, not five years.
★His removal does not follow the impeachment-like process used for judges or the CAG.
★The President can remove the CVC on specified grounds such as proven misbehaviour.
★So both statements are wrong on the status, tenure and removal of the CVC.
