NHRC Composition Analysis
This question asks to identify the correct components of the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) based on the provided statements and select the matching option.
Evaluating NHRC Membership Criteria
Let's examine each statement regarding the composition of the NHRC:
-
Statement 1: Chairperson Eligibility
The statement suggests the Chairperson must be a former Chief Justice of the Supreme Court OR a High Court. While a former Chief Justice of India (CJI) or a former Supreme Court Judge can be Chairperson, the inclusion of 'Chief Justice of a High Court' here makes this statement inconsistent with the typically accepted criteria for the Chairperson role, leading to its exclusion based on the available options.
-
Statement 2: Supreme Court Judge Member
The NHRC includes a member who is or has been a Judge of the Supreme Court. This criterion is accurate.
-
Statement 3: High Court Chief Justice Member
The NHRC includes a member who is or has been the Chief Justice of a High Court. This criterion is also accurate.
-
Statement 4: Human Rights Expertise Members
The NHRC has two members appointed based on their knowledge or practical experience in human rights matters. This is a correct component.
Conclusion on NHRC Structure
Based on the analysis, statements 2, 3, and 4 correctly describe the composition of the NHRC. Statement 1 is excluded due to the specific qualification mentioned for the Chairperson.
Therefore, the correct combination includes points 2, 3, and 4.
This aligns with Option D.
