With reference to the Cabinet Mission, which of the following statements is/are correct? 1. It recommended a federal government. 2. It enlarged the powers of the Indian courts. 3. It provided for more Indians in the ICS. Select the correct answer using the code given below.

The Cabinet Mission Plan, proposed in 1946, primarily aimed at devising a framework for India's independence and the formation of a Constituent Assembly. One of its key recommendations was the establishment of a Union of India, which would comprise both British India and the princely states. This Union was to have powers over foreign affairs, defence, and communications, while all residuary powers would vest in the provinces. This structure, with a division of powers between the centre and the provinces/states, clearly indicates a recommendation for a federal government. Therefore, statement 1 is correct.

The Mission's proposals did not directly address the enlargement of powers of Indian courts (statement 2) or the provision for more Indians in the Indian Civil Service (ICS) (statement 3). Its focus was on the constitutional machinery for the transfer of power, not the specifics of judicial or administrative reforms in that manner.
