Only the National Commission for Backward Classes is a constitutional body after the 102nd Constitutional Amendment inserted Article 338B. The National Human Rights Commission is a statutory body under the Protection of Human Rights Act 1993, the Law Commission is an executive/ advisory body, and the National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission is a statutory quasi-judicial body under the Consumer Protection Act. Hence exactly one of the four is constitutional. ([indiankanoon.org](https://indiankanoon.org/doc/3518987/?utm_source=openai))
