The Nawab of Junagarh, Muhammad Mahabat Khanji III, formally signed the Instrument of Accession to the Dominion of Pakistan on August 15, 1947. The Junagarh kingdom, being a Hindu-majority kingdom located in a corner of the Kathiawar peninsula (which is now a part of Gujarat), had no direct land boundary with Pakistan. The Nawab claimed that it had access to Pakistan by sea. The claim was accepted by Pakistan on September 15, 1947.
