Identify Non-Statutory & Non-Constitutional Bodies
This question requires identifying a government body that lacks both constitutional backing and specific legislative creation.
Understanding Body Types
- Constitutional Body: Established directly by the provisions of the Constitution of India.
- Statutory Body: Established by an Act passed by the Parliament or State Legislature.
- Non-Statutory / Non-Constitutional Body: Formed through an executive order or resolution of the government, without specific constitutional articles or legislative acts.
Analysis of Options
- National Human Rights Commission (NHRC): Established under the Protection of Human Rights Act, 1993. It is a statutory body.
- Attorney General of India: Appointed under Article 76 of the Constitution. It is a constitutional body.
- Central Information Commission (CIC): Established under the Right to Information Act, 2005. It is a statutory body.
- NITI Aayog: Established in 2015 by a Union Cabinet resolution, replacing the Planning Commission. It is neither mentioned in the Constitution nor created by an Act of Parliament. Hence, it is a non-statutory and non-constitutional body.
Therefore, NITI Aayog fits the description.
