When did Baldev Sahay resign from the post of Advocate General?

Correct answer: (a) 1942

Explanation

The failures of the August Offer (August 1940) and the Cripps Mission (1942) ultimately gave rise to the Quit India Movement. During this period, when the demand for the formation of a national government was rejected, the Wardha Resolution was reaffirmed at the meeting of the All India Congress Committee held at the Gowalia Tank Maidan, Bombay, on 7–8 August, 1942. As soon as the Quit India Movement began on 9 August, 1942, the British government arrested all top-level Congress leaders under Operation Zero Hour. In protest against this, Bihar’s Advocate General, Baldev Sahay, resigned from his post in 1942.
