Option 1 states that the Speaker`s conduct in regulating the procedure of maintaining order in the House will not be subject to the jurisdiction of any court. This statement is correct. It means that the Speaker has the authority to enforce rules and maintain order in the House without interference from the judicial system.

Option 2 states that besides presiding over their own House, the Speaker possesses certain powers like presiding over a joint sitting of the two Houses of Parliament. This statement is correct. The Speaker, as the presiding officer of the House of the People, also has the responsibility to preside over joint sittings of both Houses of Parliament when necessary.

Option 3 states that while a resolution for the Speaker`s removal is under consideration, the Speaker shall preside but shall have no right to speak and vote. This statement is correct. The Speaker, even when facing a resolution for their removal, will continue to preside over the proceedings but will not have the privilege to participate in the debate or cast a vote.

Therefore, the correct answer is option 2 - 1 and 2 only.
