Explanation:

Statement 1: The Governor usually reserves such bills for the President who then either approves the bill or vetoes it or sends it back to the assembly. This is to ensure harmony between the central laws, state laws and the constitution.

Statement 2: Both HCs and SC have the authority under A32 and A226 to repeal such laws.

Statement 3: The Central government doesn’t pass laws. It cannot, for e.g. intervene directly in a state subject that was legislated by the assembly. The ordinance route can be adopted, but that requires the approval of the President and would work only in the case of a central or concurrent list subject.
