As mentioned upthread, the foreign key must match the primary key (more precisely a unique key) of the table it references.
Now the primary key of table2 is (id, roll_number, account_id) but you are trying to reference only a part of it.

> references table2 (id, roll_number)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

You can add a unique contraint in table2:

create table table2
(
id char(6) not null,
roll_number varchar(20) not null,
account_id varchar(20) not null default '-',
primary key (id, roll_number, account_id),
unique (id, roll_number)
);

create table table1
(
id char(6) not null,
roll_number varchar(20) not null,
primary key (id, roll_number)
);

alter table table1 add constraint fk_key foreign key (id, roll_number) references table2 (id, roll_number) on delete restrict on update restrict;

db.localhost=> \d table1
Table "public.table1"
Column | Type | Modifiers
-------------+-----------------------+-----------
id | character(6) | not null
roll_number | character varying(20) | not null
Indexes:
"table1_pkey" PRIMARY KEY, btree (id, roll_number)
Foreign-key constraints:
"fk_key" FOREIGN KEY (id, roll_number) REFERENCES table2(id, roll_number) ON UPDATE RESTRICT ON DELETE RESTRICT
