Explanation:

The Uniform Civil code(UCC) was introduced in Goa by the erstwhile Portuguese rulers.It was retained even after the territory was merged with India in the year 1961. It is the only state in the country where uniform civil code is applicable to all regardless of religion except while protecting certain limited rights.

The code comes under Article 44 of the Constitution, which lays down that the state shall endeavour to secure a Uniform Civil Code for the citizens throughout the territory of India.

Hence only statement 2nd is correct.
