For filing a public interest litigation (Article 32 or Article 226 of the Constitution), the plaintiff need not have a personal interest or claim in the matter. The PIL must serve a matter of public interest.
A PIL cannot be filed against a private party. A private party, however, can be included as the respondent after the concerned authority is made a party to the PIL.

Hence only statement 2nd is correct.
