Consider the following: 1. Warren Hastings was the first Governor General who established a regular police force in India on the British pattern.

The correct answer is B because statement 1 is incorrect, while statements 2 and 3 are correct. Statement 1 is wrong because Lord Cornwallis, not Warren Hastings, is credited with establishing a regular police force in India. In 1791, Cornwallis organized a regular police force by creating the Thana system and appointing Darogas. Warren Hastings had only made some preliminary attempts to reform the existing faujdari system but did not establish a police force on the British pattern. Statement 2 is correct as a Supreme Court was established at Fort William in Calcutta under the Regulating Act of 1773. Statement 3 is correct because the Indian Penal Code was drafted in 1860 based on the recommendations of the first Law Commission, which was chaired by Lord Macaulay. Since only statements 2 and 3 are accurate, option B is the right choice.
