Consider the following organizations/bodies in India:
- The National Commission for Backward Classes
- The National Human Rights Commission
- The National Law Commission
- The National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission How many of the above constitutional bodies?
Correct Answer: Option A
The National Commission for Backward Classes (NCBC) is a constitutional body. It gained this status through the Constitution (102nd Amendment) Act, 2018, which inserted Article 338B into the Indian Constitution.
The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) is a statutory body, established under the Protection of Human Rights Act, 1993.
The National Law Commission is an executive body responsible for legal reforms in India.
The National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission (NCDRC) was established in 1988 under the Consumer Protection Act of 1986. It is a statutory, and quasi-judicial body.
Statement 1 is correct. Statements 2, 3, and 4 are not correct. Hence, only one of the listed bodies is a constitutional body.
