Read the passage and answer the following questions:

The quasi-judicial bodies typically are public administrative agencies under the realm of the executive branch and are largely bestowed with authority similar to courts. These bodies have the power to resolve disputes and also impose punishments. Examples of quasi-judicial institutions include, national and state human rights commissions, consumer redressal forums and commissions, income tax tribunals, and so on. Some of these bodies relating specifically to human rights institutions that include, the National Human Rights Commission. National Commission for Minorities, National Commission for Women. National Commission for Scheduled Castes and the National Commission for Scheduled Tribes. These commissions are independent or autonomous and transparent bodies that are created under specific legislations to promote and protect human rights; for example, the National and State Human Rights Commissions are governed by the Protection of Human Rights Act, 1993. National commissions have jurisdiction over the entire nation and the parallel state commission take matters of human rights violations from the respective states.

Which one of the following is not a Quasi judicial body?

Parliament

The correct answer is Option (4) → Parliament

A quasi-judicial body is one that has some judicial powers but is not a part of the judicial branch of government. It can make decisions on legal matters, but it does not have the full authority of a court. The Human Rights Commission, Consumer Forums, and Income Tax Tribunals are all considered quasi-judicial bodies because they have the authority to adjudicate certain disputes and enforce regulations. In contrast, Parliament is a legislative body responsible for making laws and does not function as a quasi-judicial entity.
