Delhi High Court withdraws judicial work from district judge

The Delhi High Court on Thursday passed an order on its administrative side to withdraw judicial work from District Judge Aman Pratap Singh.

The decision was taken at a meeting of the full court held last week.

"I am directed to say that Hon'ble Acting Chief Justice and Judges of this Court have been pleased to order that judicial work be withdrawn with immediate effect from Mr. Aman Pratap Singh, an officer of Delhi Higher Judicial Service and presently posted as District Judge 1- South West, Dwarka, New Delhi," an order issued by the High Court Registrar General on September 19 said.

Singh is currently serving as District Judge 1- South West, Dwarka.

According to sources, the decision was taken in view of the judge's indiscipline, low disposal rate, and failure to adhere to court times.

A video of the judge behaving in a brash manner in court room had gone viral on social media.
