Explanation

The Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Daman and Diu (Merger of Union Territories) Act, 2019 was enacted by the Parliament of India to merge the two UTs for administrative efficiency. This makes statement 1 correct.

According to Section 4 of the Act, the merged Union Territory is allocated two seats in the House of the People (Lok Sabha), maintaining the status quo of one seat each from the former territories. Therefore, statement 2 is incorrect as it mentions three seats.

Section 11 of the Act explicitly states that the jurisdiction of the High Court of Bombay continues to extend to the merged Union Territory. Thus, statement 3 is correct. The merger officially came into effect on January 26, 2020.
