Explanation

The Meerut Conspiracy Case (1929-1933) was against Communist Party of India leaders and trade unionists accused of plotting to overthrow the British government. Jawaharlal Nehru (1) did come forward in their defense. M.C. Chagla (4) also defended the accused. Muzaffar Ahmed (2) was himself one of the accused, not a defender. P.C. Joshi (3) became General Secretary of CPI in 1935 and was not among the Meerut case defenders. Therefore, only 1 and 4 are correct.
