Discussion
In the definition of armed forces under the Protection of Human Rights Act, which of the following is not included?
Answer: B
The one not included is Armed Forces of the State.
Section 2(1)(a) of the Protection of Human Rights Act, 1993 defines 'armed forces' as the naval, military and air forces, and includes any other armed forces of the Union. Forces of the States, such as state armed police, are not part of this definition; complaints against them are dealt with by the Commission's ordinary procedure, not the special procedure for the armed forces.
The navy, the military and the air force are named in the definition itself, so they are included.
