New Delhi: The Delhi High Court has withdrawn judicial duties from District Judge Aman Pratap Singh, currently serving as District Judge 1 in South West, Dwarka.
The decision was made during a full court meeting last week, following concerns over the judge's indiscipline, low case disposal rate, and failure to adhere to court schedules.
An official order issued by the High Court Registrar General on September 19 confirmed the withdrawal of Singh's judicial work with immediate effect. Sources indicate that a video of the judge behaving inappropriately in the courtroom, which went viral on social media, contributed to the decision.
In the video of the court proceedings which was circulated, the judge can be seen standing up from his chair and yelling while addressing the court staff and the counsel of an accused.

Kolkata (PTI): A 68-year-old man was arrested from Kolkata on Thursday morning after fake Indian currency notes (FICN) with a face value of Rs 2.99 lakh were seized from his possession, police said.
Acting on a tip-off, the Special Task Force (STF) of Kolkata Police apprehended the person from the Dharmatala bus stand area in the central part of the city, he said.
“Six bundles of FICN of Rs 500 denomination were seized from his possession. The person seems to be a member of a racket involved in fake currency note supply. A case has been filed against him and he will be produced in a local court later today,” he said.
The accused is a resident of Malda district, the officer said, adding that a probe into the matter is underway.
