Sudhamoy was the eldest of ten siblings born to the Pramanick / [[Shantipur#Religious History|Pramanik family]] in 1884 in Shantipur. He did his early schooling in Shantipur and went on to the [[Presidency University, Kolkata|Presidency College, Calcutta]] to acquire his degree in science in the early 1900s. Later he obtained a degree in law from the [[University of Calcutta]] and practiced in [[Raiganj]] and the [[Sealdah]] courts as an advocate.

In his presidency days he met many nationalists. In 1919, he was a member of the 'moderate' Indian National Liberation Foundation led by [[Surendranath Bannerjee]] - one of the founders of the [[Indian National Congress]]; but who left the Congress, since he favoured accommodation and dialogue with the British.<ref>{{cite web |title=Report of the Proceedings of the ALL INDIA CONFERENCE of the MODERATE PARTY|url=https://dspace.gipe.ac.in/xmlui/bitstream/handle/10973/37973/GIPE-004163.pdf |website=GIPE.AC.IN|publisher=GIPE library|access-date=20 August 2020}}</ref> He went on to support the Congress <ref>[https://archive.org/details/in.ernet.dli.2015.37087/page/n692: [[Modern Review (Calcutta)]],vol.44,p684, Calcutta, 1928]</ref> and joined as a senior leader during his tenure at the Raigunj Court.
