Karnataka High Court Order set aside by the Supreme Court of India

On March 30, 2012, the Karnataka High Court, acting on a petition from DGP Abdul Rahman Infant, the then most senior IPS officer in Karnataka, invalidated the appointment of Mr. Shankar Bidari as the Director General and Inspector General of Police (DG&IGP) for Karnataka. This action was prompted by a ruling from the Central Administrative Tribunal (CAT), Bangalore bench, on March 16, 2012, which annulled Mr. Bidari's appointment to the position of DG&IGP in Karnataka. It then directed the Karnataka State Government to appoint Infant as DG&IGP of Karnataka on ad hoc basis.
He preferred an appeal in the Hon’ble Supreme Court which gave the judgment in his behalf by exonerating him of all the allegations and held that the order of the High Court is not correct and restored his honour. He retired from service after 32 years of distinguished service, in May 2012.
