Explanation:

The State Administrative Council (SAC) headed by Jammu & Kashmir Governor repealed the Roshni Act, because it had “failed to realise the desired objectives and there were also reports of misuse of some its provisions”. The Jammu and Kashmir State Lands (Vesting of Ownership to the Occupants) Act, 2001 is popularly known as the Roshni Act. The Roshni Act envisaged the transfer of ownership rights of state land to its occupants, subject to the payment of a cost, as determined by the government. It set 1990 as the cutoff for encroachment on state land. Subsequent governments relaxed the cutoff further to 2007. The government said the revenue generated would be spent on commissioning hydroelectric power projects, hence the name “Roshni”. Hence only statement 2 is correct.
