Question

Which of the following bodies is neither a constitutional body nor a statutory body ?

• A. Law Commission of India
• B. Central Consumer Protection Authority
• C. National Anti-Profiteering Authority
• D. National Disaster Management Authority

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

The given task is to identify which body among the listed options is neither a constitutional body nor a statutory body. Let's analyze each option:

• Law Commission of India: This body is an advisory body established by the Government and is not backed by any constitutional or statutory mandate. It is constituted by an order of the government and is therefore neither a constitutional nor a statutory body.
• Central Consumer Protection Authority: It is a statutory body established under the Consumer Protection Act, 2019, to promote, protect, and enforce the rights of consumers.
• National Anti-Profiteering Authority: This is a statutory body set up under the Goods and Services Tax (GST) framework to ensure that benefits of tax rate reduction reach consumers.
• National Disaster Management Authority: This body is a statutory authority established by the Disaster Management Act, 2005, for disaster management in India.

Based on the analysis, the Law Commission of India is neither a constitutional nor a statutory body.
