These restrictions were relaxed under Lord Hastings, who had progressive views, and in 1818, the pre-censorship provided by the Act was removed.
Statement 2 is incorrect: Mirat-ul-Akbar was the journal of Raja Ram Mohan Roy. It stopped its publication due to the restriction imposed by the Press Act, 1823, of John Adams. This Act was struck down by Lord Meltcafe (hailed as the ‘liberator of Indian Press”).
