Bills introduced by the members of parliament other than ministers are known as private member’s bills: This statement is correct. Private member's bills are indeed introduced by members of parliament who are not ministers.

No such bill has been passed by the Parliament since independence: This statement is incorrect. Private member's bills have been passed by Parliament, though they are relatively rare. While they face challenges in getting passed due to various reasons, there have been instances where private member's bills have been enacted into law.

Therefore, the correct option is 1 only.
