During 1947-1950 India was an independent state but not sovereign hence it was dominion India under British crown as the head. The head of India was the governor general (as office of viceroy was abolished by Indian Independent act 1947) - Mountbatten(1947-1948) and C. Rajgopalachari(1948-1950). For example, Australia and New Zealand are independent but dominion of British Crown till date and they sing "God save the queen".
During 1947-50 there was an interim government which administered the country under Government of India Act 1935. This government was headed by Jawaharlal Nehru. When the Constitution of India came into force on 26 January 1950, it repealed the Indian Independence Act. India ceased to be a dominion of the British Crown and became a sovereign democratic republic.
Similarly, scenario: The Kahan Singh case of the similar type which argued in Supreme Court that constitution of India was not drafted by the representative of people of India i.e. Not elected by Indian people directly. Hence there is no validity of Indian constitution since constitution derives its authority from people of India but drafting committee was not elected people. Still, if you read the preamble of the constitution it says "we the people of India".
Supreme Court cancelled the case by giving following reason-
"it is a conclusive assumption and legal fiction that can not be questioned in the court of law"
