- Statement 1 is false: The Indian Penal Code (IPC) is substantive law because it defines crimes and punishments.
However, the Criminal Procedure Code (CrPC) is procedural law because it lays down the procedures for investigation, trial, and punishment.
- Statement 2 is true: Substantive law indeed prescribes the nature of offences and their punishments.
Hence, only Statement 2 is true.
