Previous Year Question
Which of the following Acts of the Government led to the creation of Sind Province from Bombay?
Correct Answer: D
Detailed Solution
The Government of India Act, 1935 provided for the separation of Sind from the Bombay Presidency and its constitution as a separate province.
The strongest evidence comes directly from the original text of the Government of India Act, 1935. Section 289 expressly provided that Sind would be separated from the Presidency of Bombay and would form a Governor's Province known as the Province of Sind.
The Cripps Mission and Wavell Plan were political proposals
rather than the statute that created the province, while the Indian Independence Act came later in 1947. The legal basis for separating Sind from Bombay was the Government of India Act, 1935.
