Which one among the following is not a constitutional body in India ?

In India, constitutional bodies are those established by the Constitution itself, while statutory bodies are created by an Act of Parliament. The Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) is a constitutional body established under Article 148 [3]. The National Commission for Scheduled Castes (NCSC) is a constitutional body under Article 338 [3]. The Special Officer for Linguistic Minorities (often referred to as the National Commissioner for Linguistic Minorities) was granted constitutional status via the Seventh Constitutional Amendment Act of 1956, which inserted Article 350-B [3]. In contrast, the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) is a statutory body, not a constitutional one [3]. It was established in 1993 under the Protection of Human Rights Act, 1993, to serve as a watchdog for human rights in the country [3]. Therefore, the NHRC is the only body among the options that is not constitutional [1].
