Detailed Explanation:

The Radcliffe Commission was established in July 1947 under the chairmanship of Sir Cyril Radcliffe, a British lawyer, to delimit the boundaries between India and Pakistan during the partition.

The commission had four members each from the Indian National Congress and the Muslim League, and was tasked with dividing the provinces of Punjab and Bengal based on religious demographics, completing its work in just five weeks before independence on August 15, 1947.
