After his retirement, he was elected to the Constituent Assembly of India in 1946 from the province of Punjab.[4] After the Partition of India, he opted to move to independent India.
In October 1947, the Maharaja of Jammu and Kashmir, having released the popular leader Sheikh Abdullah from prison with the expectation of his participation in the government of the state, appointed Bakshi Tek Chand to frame a constitution for the state.[3] The appointment was on 21 October 1947, one day before the Pakistani tribal invasion of Kashmir was launched, which put a hold on the effort. With the state's accession to India in the wake of the invasion, Bakshi continued to be involved in the negotiations for arranging the state's governance.[5]
