The claim
According to the Indian Independence Act of 1947, the British can once again rule India by annulling the Constitution of India.
Original review summary
The review says the Act established independent Dominions of India and Pakistan on 15 August 1947 and gave their legislatures authority to enact laws without the British Monarch’s consent. It also says Article 395 of the Indian Constitution repealed the Act in India, so it cannot be used to reclaim power there.[S1]
Additional context
The review says the Act’s transitional powers for the Governor-General expired by 1 April 1948. [S1]
The review notes that other pre-Constitution laws continued in force unless amended or repealed by a competent authority. [S1]
