The High Powered Enquiry Committee that has launched the portal hpec.nic.in was constituted by which authority?
- A.The Supreme Court of India
- B.The National Human Rights Commission
- C.The Delhi High Court
- D.The Election Commission of India
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is the Supreme Court of India. The court set up the High Powered Enquiry Committee to enquire into all aspects of the incidents of violence at Jantar Mantar in Delhi and at places outside Delhi during July 2026, and the Committee has now opened a portal so that affected persons, including affected police personnel, can send in their complaints. Option B is wrong because the human rights commission, although it handles complaints of rights violations, did not create this committee. Option C is wrong because the mandate flows from orders of the apex court, not from the high court of the capital. Option D is wrong because the poll body has no role in enquiring into incidents of public violence. The mandate itself is drawn from the paragraphs of two orders, dated 18 August 2026 and 10 September 2026.
