Non-Constitutional Bodies
What are Non-Constitutional Bodies?
Non-Constituent or Extra-Constituent bodies are the same thing. These bodies are not defined in the country's Constitution.
A non-constitutional entity, unlike a constitutional body, derives its authority from the Indian Constitution.
Typically, the powers of a non-constitutional body are derived from matching legislation approved by the Indian Parliament. There are other non-constitutional entities with authority based on Indian Government Orders (Executive Resolution).

Statutory Bodies in India
Definition
They are also significant bodies because of their function.
They are established by a Parliamentary Act.
Statutes are referred to as such because they are laws enacted by Parliament or the legislature.
These bodies are referred to as statutory bodies since their authority is derived from statutes or laws enacted by Parliament.

Regulatory Bodies in India
Definition
Regulatory organisations are public or government entities that have autonomous jurisdiction over a certain area of human activity in a regulatory or supervisory role.
Some regulatory agencies are independent, which implies they are not subject to the authority of any body of government.
They are in place to ensure that safety and standards are followed.
They are in charge of defining rules for a certain area of human activity as well as overseeing the bodies involved in that activity.
Legislators enact legislation that establishes them.

Non-Statutory Bodies
Definition
The Constitution makes no mention of them.
They are also not established by a parliamentary act.
They are constituted only by executive resolution or action, implying that they are the result of government activity.
By implementing legislation, they can be transformed into a statutory body. For example, the UIDAI became a statutory entity when it was founded by the passage of a new law.

Quasi-Judicial Bodies
Definition
A quasi-judicial body can be an individual or a group having powers similar to those of a court of law.
They have the authority to adjudicate and impose punishment on the guilty
They vary from judicial entities in that their scope is narrower than that of a court.
They can be created on an ongoing court issue by court order if the court deems it essential; the court reserves the power to choose members of such a body.
They might function as courts for a specialised domain or as arbitrators.

Difference Between Judicial and Quasi-Judicial Bodies
In common law, judicial decisions are bound by precedent, whereas quasi-judicial judgments are not.
Judicial decisions may result in the creation of new laws, whereas quasi-judicial rulings are based on current legislation.
Quasi-judicial proceedings are not required to follow strict court procedures (of procedure and evidence).
Formal hearings can be held by quasi-judicial organisations only if they are obliged to do so by their governing legislation.
