Paliwal was born in Gaur Brahmin[1] family to Pandit Hukumchand & Sundari Devi at Mandawar, Rajasthan village in the present-day Mandawar tehsil of dausa district. He was a prominent Indian independence activist and was a minister in Jai Narayan Vyas government from 26 April 1951 to 2 March 1952. He became the chief Minister of first democratically elected Rajasthan Legislative Assembly as Jai Narayan Vyas lost in the elections. Later, Jai Narayan Vyas got elected in by-election from Kishangarh and again took over the post on 1 November 1952. So Tika Ram Paliwal resigned from the Cabinet for a short period and re-joined it.[2]

He was MLA from Mahuwa twice in 1952 and 1957.[3] In 1962, he was elected from the Hindaun Lok Sabha constituency as independent candidate.[4]
