New Delhi, Oct 17: Weeks after the Delhi High Court recommended the termination of the service of a Dwarka district judge, Aman Pratap Singh, the Department of Law, Justice And Legislative Affairs notified his termination.
Order copy with CTN reads that “In pursuance of the provisions of Delhi Higher Judicial Service Rules, 1970 as amended up to date, the Lt. Governor of the National Capital Territory of Delhi, in consultation with the High Court of Delhi, hereby terminates the services of Mr Aman Pratap Singh, who is presently on probation, from the Delhi Higher Judicial Service with immediate effect".
Singh, who had been serving in the Dwarka court since last June, was placed under probation after a video was circulated on social media showing him standing up from his chair and yelling at court staff and the counsel of an accused.
On September 19, the high court directed the withdrawal of judicial work from Singh.
Singh was appointed last May as an additional district judge in Delhi.
