Explanation
There is a strict temporal layout mismatch here: in the 1946 Interim Government setup, the Law portfolio was allocated to Jogendra Nath Mandal (nominated by the Muslim League). When free India's first cabinet was formed in 1947, Dr. B.R. Ambedkar was formally appointed as the sovereign nation's first Law Minister.
