The Legislative members from the Hindu majority areas of Punjab and Bengal had decided by majority vote that the Provinces should be partitioned. Consequently two separate Commissions were appointed to give effect to the demarcation of these provinces. The Muslim League nominated Mr. Justice Din Muhammad and Mr. Justice Muhammad Munir as the members of the Demarcating Commission for Punjab. The Congress nominated Mr. Justice Mehr Chand Mahajan and Mr. Justice Tija Singh. Mr. Justice Radcliff, a British Judge, was to head the Commissions for the two Provinces.

The controversy points of the demarcation had not yet been raised when Radcliff wanted to have a flight over certain area along with Justice Din Muhammad. This alarmed Justice Din Muhammad and Justice Muhammad Munir because it seemed that Mr. Radcliff already knew the points needed to be settled. Justice Din Muhammad expressed his fear to the Quaid-e-Azam and wanted to resign, but the Quaid-e-Azam did not think it proper to level a charge of partiality against Mr. Radcliff aid both the Muslim Judges submitted before their leader. The before-time interest in the demarcation of East and West parts of Punjab as shown by Mr. Radcliff was not without purpose. He had met Lord Mountbatten and Pandit Nehru immediately after his arrival in Delhi. He had also worked cut the details of demarcation.
