Former Additional Sessions Judge of Delhi's Dwarka Court, Aman Pratap Singh, has moved the Supreme Court against the decision of the Delhi High Court. Actually, Aman Pratap has challenged the decision of the High Court in the Supreme Court. He has lodged a protest against the decision of the High Court. The bench of Justice Vikramnath and Justice Sandeep Mehta has issued a notice to the Delhi High Court on the petition filed and sought its reply within four weeks.
Delhi High Court had rejected the petition challenging the service of ADJ Aman Pratap Singh, posted on probation. Earlier, important facts have come to light regarding the termination of service of former Additional Sessions Judge Aman Pratap Singh. The Delhi High Court, in its decision given on 7 February 2026, clarified that this action is not punitive, but a termination simplistic on the basis of unsuitability of the probationary officer. This case is related to Aman Pratap Singh vs Govt Of NCT Of Delhi & Anr, in which the court analyzed the circumstances in detail.
According to the court, Aman Pratap Singh's dismissal was not done on the basis of conviction on any particular charge, but after evaluating his overall work performance and behaviour. The main reason for his dismissal was a viral video in which he was seen shouting at lawyers in the courtroom. This incident raised serious questions about judicial dignity and conduct. Apart from this, a total of eight complaints were registered against him, which included work style and behavioral issues. In official records his performance was described as below average.
Aman Pratap Singh was appointed to Delhi Higher Judicial Service (DHJS) on 28 April 2023. He was on probation for two years. During this period, an overall assessment of the officer's conduct, decision-making ability, and professional behavior is made. The High Court had said in its decision that it is clear from the material available in this case that the decision was based on administrative satisfaction and not as a punitive action.
