On 30 March 2012, the Karnataka High Court, in response to a petition filed by then most senior IPS officer of Karnataka DGP Abdul Rahman Infant challenging the appointment of Shankar Bidari as Karnataka Director General, struck down Bidari’s appointment.
This appears related to Bidari's role as commandant of a Special Task Force to tackle Veerappan.
The decision by the High Court for removal of Bidari was based on the decision taken by the Central Administrative Tribunal (CAT), Bangalore bench, on 16 March 2012, which quashed the appointment of Shankar M Bidari as DG&IGP of Karnataka.
It then directed the Karnataka State Government to appoint Infant as DG&IGP of Karnataka on an ad hoc basis.
He referred an appeal to the Supreme Court which gave a judgement exonerating him of allegations, and held that the order of the High Court was not correct.
He retired after 34 years of service, in May 2012.
