The Delhi High Court has withdrawn judicial work from District Judge Aman Pratap Singh due to concerns over his indiscipline, low disposal rate, and failure to adhere to court timings. The decision was made during a full court meeting and was communicated through an order issued by the High Court Registrar General. Sources indicate that the judge’s behavior in court, including a viral video showing him acting in a brash manner, contributed to the decision. This move underscores the importance of maintaining discipline and efficiency within the judiciary. The withdrawal of judicial work from a sitting judge is a significant step, reflecting the High Court’s commitment to upholding the standards of judicial conduct and ensuring that judges adhere to their responsibilities. The case also highlights the challenges faced by the judiciary in managing and monitoring the performance of judicial officers.
