\nThe correct answer is B) The Act sought to lay down a Constitution by the Legislative will of the British Parliament.
\n<\/section>\n
\nStatement B is incorrect. The Indian Independence Act, 1947, did not lay down the Constitution for either India or Pakistan. Instead, it granted the respective Constituent Assemblies of the two Dominions full power to frame and adopt any Constitution they deemed fit. The Act merely provided the legal framework for the transfer of power and the creation of the Dominions.
\n<\/section>\n
\nA) is correct. The Act partitioned British India, designating the specified provinces (Sind, Baluchistan, West Punjab, East Bengal, NWFP, and parts of Assam) to Pakistan, and the rest constituting the Dominion of India.
\nC) is correct. The Act provided for the creation of two independent Dominions: India and Pakistan.
\nD) is correct. Section 8 of the Act explicitly stated that the Constituent Assembly of each Dominion was to have unlimited power to frame and adopt any Constitution and to repeal any existing British law, including the Independence Act itself.
