| ==Career==
| |
| Fazl belonged to an aristocratic ''Zamindar'' (landlord) family of [[Bihar]] state. He studied law and began practicing. Eventually he was raised to the judiciary. Sir Fazl Ali was successively given the title of [[Khan Sahib]] first and of [[Khan Bahadur]] later. In 1918, he was made an Officer of the [[Order of the British Empire]] (OBE). He was knighted in the New Year's Honours list of 1941 and invested with his knighthood on 1 May 1942 by the [[Viceroy of India|Viceroy]], [[Lord Linlithgow]].<ref>[https://www.thegazette.co.uk/London/issue/30730/supplement/6748 London Gazette, 4 June 1918]</ref><ref>[http://www.london-gazette.co.uk/issues/35029/supplements/2 London Gazette, 1 January 1941]</ref><ref>[https://www.thegazette.co.uk/London/issue/35544/page/1916 The London Gazette, 1 May 1942]</ref>

| India became independent in 1947. Under the new dispensation, Fazl Ali was governor of Odisha from 1952 to 1956 and of Assam from 1956 to 1959. He died while serving as governor of Assam. Whilst in Assam, he made strenuous efforts to bring the disgruntled [[Nagaland|Naga]] tribals into the mainstream of society. He opened the first college in the Naga heartland in [[Mokokchung]], which is today known as '[[Fazl Ali College]]' in his honour. The College celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2010.
| |
| | |
| Fazl Ali headed the [[States Reorganisation Commission]] that made recommendations about the reorganization of India's states. For his services to India, he was bestowed with the country's second-highest civilian honour, the [[Padma Vibhushan]], by the government of India.
| |
| | |
| ==Family and personal life==
| |
| Fazl Ali's eldest son, the late [[Syed Murtaza Fazl Ali]], followed in the footsteps of his father and took up the profession of law. In 1958, at age 38, he was elevated to the judiciary and appointed a judge of the [[Jammu and Kashmir (state)|Jammu and Kashmir]] High Court. In 1966, he became the Chief Justice of the same court, thereby becoming one of the youngest holders of that high office; he was only 43. In 1975, he was made a Judge of the [[Supreme Court of India]], thus making for a very rare instance of father and son both being supreme court judges in India. He died in 1985 while yet a sitting judge of the supreme court.
