Every member of the Commission, State Commission and every officer appointed or authorized by the Commission or State Commission to exercise functions under the Protection of Human Rights Act is to be deemed
Answer: B
They are deemed to be Public Servants.
The Protection of Human Rights Act, 1993 provides that every Member of the Commission and of a State Commission, and every officer appointed or authorised by them to exercise functions under the Act, shall be deemed to be a public servant within the meaning of section 21 of the Indian Penal Code. This brings them under the criminal law that applies to public servants, including the protection and the accountability that go with that status.
'Public Officer' and 'Officer of Commission' are not the terms the Act uses, and 'None of the above' is ruled out because the Act states the deeming rule expressly.
