The Uttar Pradesh State Human Rights Commission has been constituted under which law?

The correct answer is A, the Protection of Human Rights Act, 1993. Section 21 of that Act allows a state government to constitute a State Human Rights Commission to inquire into violations of human rights in respect of subjects in the State List and the Concurrent List. Its chairperson is a person who has been a Chief Justice or a Judge of a High Court, appointed by the Governor on the recommendation of a committee of the Chief Minister, the Speaker of the Assembly, the Home Minister and the Leader of the Opposition, and removal is only by the President.

Option B is wrong because the Right to Information Act, 2005 creates the State Information Commission under Section 15, a different body that decides second appeals and complaints. Option C is wrong because the human rights commissions are statutory and not constitutional bodies; the constitutional commissions of a state are the Public Service Commission under Article 315 and the Election and Finance Commissions for local bodies under Articles 243K and 243-I. Option D is wrong because the Lokayukta of 1975 inquires into corruption and maladministration, not human rights violations.
