Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
The S. K. Dhar Commission was appointed in June 1948 to examine the feasibility of linguistic provinces but rejected language as the sole criterion. The JVP Committee (Jawaharlal Nehru, Vallabhbhai Patel, Pattabhi Sitaramayya) was formed later. The question might be a bit post-1950 but okay. I'll keep it if relevant to 1950. I'll replace with a more 1948 one.
