The Indian Independence Act of 1947 declared India independent and sovereign. Consequently, the authority of the Crown ceased to exist. The Constituent Assembly of India became sovereign, and its power to frame a new Constitution was not derived from the British Crown but from the will of the Indian people. Therefore, the statement that “The Crown was the source of authority till new Constitution was framed” is incorrect.
– The Indian Independence Act, 1947 ended British rule and declared India independent and sovereign.
– The sovereignty was transferred from the British Crown to the Constituent Assemblies of the Dominions of India and Pakistan.
– The Government of India Act, 1935 was adapted and amended (not as a new ‘interim Constitution’ but as the working legal framework) to serve as the Constitution for each Dominion until a new Constitution was framed and adopted.
– India ceased to be a dependency and attained the status of a free and sovereign nation.
– The Governor-General became the constitutional head of the Indian Dominion, acting on the advice of the Council of Ministers.
