Which of the following statements are correct? 1. The Third Round Table Conference met in London in November 1932 without the participation of Congress 2. The discussions in the Third Round Table Conference led to the passing of the Government of India Act, 1935 3. The Government of India Act, 1935 did not favor the idea of provincial autonomy 4. The Governor was not given any power in the Act of 1935 to take over and run the administration of a province

The Third Round Table Conference was held in London in November 1932. The Indian National Congress did not participate as its leaders were involved in the Civil Disobedience Movement [1]. The deliberations of these conferences, along with the subsequent White Paper of 1933, directly led to the enactment of the Government of India Act, 1935 [1][2]. Statement 3 is incorrect because the 1935 Act specifically introduced a new system of government based on provincial autonomy, replacing the dyarchy system [1][3]. Statement 4 is also incorrect because the Act granted the Governor significant discretionary powers, including the authority to take over the administration of a province under Section 93 if the constitutional machinery failed. Therefore, only statements 1 and 2 are historically accurate regarding the constitutional developments of the 1930s.
