During the Quit India movement, he was imprisoned for the third time from October 23, 1942, until November 23, 1943. Before his imprisonment, he led an underground anti-colonial struggle in Ghaziabad, Hapur, Mawana, Sardhana, and Bulandshahr. After his release, he returned to practicing law, but he did not take on cases that he believed to be false. Despite his efforts, he did not find success and lived a life of hardship and poverty. It is said that he considered being a lawyer a compulsion rather than something he enjoyed.

“Although he led a simple lifestyle, he was intellectually superior to most of his political colleagues and opponents, despite many of them being highly educated in the early post-independence days. This was noted by Paul R. Brass (p. 82).”

Lastly, his sixth and last child, daughter Sharda, was born on December 23.
