Answer is Wrong!
Answer is Right!
The correct answer is: a) Investigating human rights violations.
The Punjab State Human Rights Commission is a statutory body established under the Punjab Human Rights Commission Act, 1997. The Commission is empowered to investigate complaints of human rights violations within the state of Punjab. The Commission has the power to summon witnesses, take evidence, and issue directions to the state government and its officials. The Commission also has the power to recommend compensation to the victims of human rights violations.
The other options are incorrect because:
- Option b) Adjudicating civil disputes is the role of the civil courts.
- Option c) Formulating economic policy is the role of the state government.
- Option d) Managing state finances is the role of the state finance department.
