Who among the following was not a member of the ‘Board of Three’ to administer the State of Punjab after its annexation?

Key Fact(s)

After the annexation of Punjab in 1849, the British government appointed a Board of Administration (often called the Board of Three) to manage the province. This board consisted of Henry Lawrence as President, along with John Lawrence and Charles Grenville Mansel.

The Board was responsible for establishing civil administration, revenue settlement, and law and order in the newly annexed territory. H. M. Elliot and Robert Montgomery were not members of this Board; they served in other administrative capacities in Punjab at different times. Thus, the composition of the Board of Three is correctly stated.
