The correct answer is option 4, which states that only statement 2 is correct.

Statement 1 is incorrect because the Jana Gana Mana was adopted as India`s national anthem by the Constituent Assembly on 24th January 1950 and not on 26th January 1950.

Statement 3 is incorrect because the National Calendar based on Saka Era was adopted by India on 22nd March 1957 and not on 26th January 1950.

However, Statement 2 is correct. The Supreme Court of India was indeed inaugurated on 26th January 1950, which is also celebrated as Republic Day in India. Hiralal Kania was sworn in as the first Chief Justice of India on this day.

So, the only correct statement is statement 2, making option 4 the correct answer.
