Tariki was removed from office by Prince Faisal as a result of the clash between him and Kamal Adham in 1962. More specifically, King Saud was forced to dismiss him and four other members of the cabinet following his announcement of the constitution which had been developed by Free Princes movement members with the help of Egyptian lawyers. The others who were asked to resign from the office included Hasan Nasif, Abdallah Al Dabbagh, Ibrahim Al Suwayil and Nasir Al Manqur. The Sudairi Seven led by Prince Fahd were very influential in this campaign against Tariki and others. Tariki was succeeded by Ahmed Zaki Yamani as oil minister. Yamani sacked Tariki also from Aramco's board.
