Options:

6(2)

10(1)

12(2)

8(1)

Correct Answer:

8(1)

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option 4 - 8(1)

The Constituent Assembly was recognised by Section 8(1) of the Indian Independence Act, 1947.

Section 8(1) of the Indian Independence Act, 1947 played a crucial role in establishing the legitimacy of the Constituent Assembly and paving the way for India's constitution.

Section 8(1) did two things:

- It granted the Constituent Assembly the legal authority to draft a constitution for the new dominion (India).
- It established the Constituent Assembly as the primary body responsible for this task, superseding any other potential legislative body.

This recognition by the British Parliament was crucial because it provided a firm foundation for the Constituent Assembly's work. It ensured that the body tasked with drafting India's constitution had the legal power to do so.
