Sultan Ahmed was related to Sir Ali Imam and Syed Hasan Imam and like them were from bihar.
While he was the first Indian Vice-Chancellor of Patna University (1923–30) he was included as a delegate from British India, to the Round Table Conference (1930–31) in London which was attended by Mahatama Gandhi.
He was Member of the Bihar Legislative Council in 1937 but resigned on the grounds of not getting enough time for politics.

In the 1945 New Year Honours, he was appointed a Knight Commander of the Order of the Star of India (KCSI).
Syed Sultan Ahmed backed M. C. Davar in his opposition to the partition of India, joining the United Party of India which aimed at bridging the gap between the Indian National Congress and All India Muslim League.
Although Jinnah offered him a cabinet position in Pakistan, he stated that he could not leave India as it contained the graves of his forefathers. Sir Sultan Ahmed had previously also refused the Nizam of Hyderabad's offer of being his Prime minister as his father who was himself a lawyer reminded him of the bad experiences of his relative Sir Ali Imam in that role.
After Indian Independence, Sir Sultan turned to his law practice. In 1950 he became the President of the All India Shia Conference.
Sir Sultan’s grandson, Syed Tanvirul Hasan’s ‘Freedom and Partition and Seasons Changed’ records the ‘Life and Times of Sir Sultan Ahmed’.
