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. | 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.

Shri Fazl Ali was a lawyer and his principal career was on the Bench, a long career as a judge of the Patna High Court, then Chief Justice of Patna, then a judge of the Federal Court of India and then a judge of the Supreme Court of India; all together that covers a very long period of time. And he was a very distinguished judge, later too he became the Governor of Orissa. After that, for a period he served in an important commission, the States Re-organisation Commission. Then he went to Assam as Governor. | |||
There is hardly any office, certainly not the office of Governor in India which is more difficult and more exacting than that of the Governor | |||
of Assam, because, apart from being the Governor of an important state, he is the Special Representative of the Government of India in regard to | |||
tribal areas there and in regard now to the Naga Hills-Tuensang area. It is a very big loss, not only of a great Indian, a great public servant but of a person engaged in this important and delicate task of winning over really by his goodwill and affection many of those people | |||
who are dissatisfied and who are troubled. Many will mourn his loss all over India including the people of the Naga Hills-Tuensang Division who will also greatly mourn his loss.<ref>https://eparlib.nic.in/bitstream/123456789/1806/1/lsd_02_08_22-08-1959.pdf page 52</ref> | |||
