Abstract: Documents from early 1947 containing the Muslim League's resolutions which declare the Indian Constituent Assembly illegal. The League argues that the Congress party never accepted the fundamental terms of the 1946 Cabinet Mission Plan, particularly the compulsory grouping of provinces, thus invalidating the entire constitutional process.

Description: This collection comprises internal documents, including a provincial meeting agenda and decisive Working Committee resolutions. They detail the Muslim League's formal withdrawal from the Cabinet Mission Plan and its justification for boycotting the Constituent Assembly, marking a critical point in the lead-up to Partition.
