1 and 2 only
1, 2 and 4
Explanation
Statements 1, 2, and 3 are correct. Statement 4 is incorrect.
The Coal Controller's Organization (CCO) compiles coal statistics, monitors captive blocks, and acts as the appellate authority to hear objections under the Coal Bearing Areas Act. However, ensuring that companies deliver coal to end-users on time is a commercial/contractual matter handled by buyers and sellers, not a regulatory function of the CCO.
