Which of the following is NOT a constitutional body under the Indian Constitution?
निम्नलिखित में से कौन – सा, भारतीय संविधान के अंतर्गत एक संवैधानिक निकाय नहीं है?
Detailed Solution & Logic
National Human Rights Commission/ राष्ट्रीय मानवाधिकार आयोग
Explanation
The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) is NOT a constitutional body.
- It is a statutory body, established under the Protection of Human Rights Act.
- It deals with protection and promotion of human rights.
👉 On the other hand, the following are constitutional bodies (mentioned in the Constitution):
- Comptroller and Auditor General of India (CAG) – Article 148
- Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) – Articles 315–323
- Election Commission of India (ECI) – Article 324
राष्ट्रीय मानवाधिकार आयोग (NHRC) संवैधानिक निकाय नहीं है।
- यह एक सांविधिक (Statutory) निकाय है, जिसकी स्थापना मानवाधिकार संरक्षण अधिनियम के तहत हुई है।
- यह मानवाधिकारों की रक्षा और प्रोत्साहन का कार्य करता है।
👉 जबकि निम्नलिखित संवैधानिक निकाय हैं:
- भारत का नियंत्रक एवं महालेखापरीक्षक (CAG) – अनुच्छेद 148
- संघ लोक सेवा आयोग (UPSC) – अनुच्छेद 315–323
- भारत का निर्वाचन आयोग (ECI) – अनुच्छेद 324
Extra Facts / अतिरिक्त तथ्य
- Types of Bodies in India:
- Constitutional bodies → Created by Constitution (CAG, UPSC, ECI)
- Statutory bodies → Created by Parliament laws (NHRC, NITI Aayog, etc.)
- Executive bodies → Created by government orders

- भारत में निकायों के प्रकार:
- संवैधानिक निकाय → संविधान द्वारा बनाए गए
- सांविधिक निकाय → संसद के कानून द्वारा बनाए गए
- कार्यपालिका निकाय → सरकार के आदेश से बने
- NHRC जांच कर सकता है, लेकिन सीधे दंड नहीं दे सकता।
