Abstract
According to the 3rd June Plan of 1947, two important Muslim majority provinces
of the British India i.e. Punjab and Bengal were also to be divided along with the
division of the Indian Sub-continent. The task of dividing Punjab and Bengal was
handed over to two Boundary Commissions consisting of four judges each, who
ultimately failed to accomplish their assignment. An attempt has been made in
this article to understand the causes for the failure of the judges of the Punjab
Boundary Commission in demarcating the boundary between the East and West
Punjab. The problems and circumstances under which Radcliffe, the Joint
Chairman of the Punjab and Bengal Boundary Commission, eventually
demarcated these boundaries have also been discussed at some length.
