– A body created by an Act of Parliament is known as a Statutory Body.
– A Constitutional Body, on the other hand, is one that is directly established by the Constitution of India (e.g., Election Commission, Union Public Service Commission).
– While the NHRC possesses qualities of a corporate body (perpetual succession, common seal, etc.), its primary classification based on its origin is statutory. It is not primarily a regulatory body in the sense of regulating a specific economic sector.
