Following the set - up of the United Nations Commission for India and Pakistan ( UNCIP ) , the UN Security Council passed Resolution 47 on 21 April 1948 . The measure imposed an immediate cease - fire and called on the Government of Pakistan ' to secure the withdrawal from the state of Jammu and Kashmir of tribesmen and Pakistani nationals not normally resident therein who have entered the state for the purpose of fighting . ' It also asked Government of India to reduce its forces to minimum strength , after which the circumstances for holding a plebiscite should be put into effect ' on the question of Accession of the state to India or Pakistan . ' However , it was not until 1 January 1949 that the ceasefire could be put into effect , signed by General Gracey on behalf of Pakistan and General Roy Bucher on behalf of India .
