Answer to Legal GK Question Correct Answer: B) Justice Fazl Ali Explanation: Justice Fazl Ali resigned from his position as a judge of the Supreme Court of India before his official retirement date after being appointed as the Governor of Orissa (now Odisha). This move marked his transition from the judiciary to an important constitutional role in the executive branch. The other judges mentioned, like Justice H. J. Kania (the first Chief Justice of India), Justice P. N. Bhagwati (known for introducing Public Interest Litigation), and Justice M. Hidayatullah (who later became Vice President of India), did not resign for such a reason.
