The Act empowers Gram Nyayalayas to try both civil AND certain criminal matters listed in Schedules I & II, so Statement 1 is wrong. It specifically permits appointment of local social activists or lawyers as conciliators/mediators to encourage settlement, so Statement 2 is correct. Hence option (b) 2 only.
