The correct answer is 2 and 3.

Statement 2 is correct. The Regulating Act of 1773 established the Supreme Court at Calcutta. This was the first Supreme Court in India.

Statement 3 is correct. The Indian Penal Code was enacted in the year 1860 under the leadership of Lord Macaulay. It is a comprehensive criminal code that is still in effect in India.

Therefore, the correct answer is 2 and 3.
