The Airdrie resident was accused of 97 charges at a previous hearing. Court officials said 13 have been dropped.
Singh is also accused of going uninvited to some of his alleged victims’ homes in North Lanarkshire to “examine” them.
He is accused of kissing and touching and making inappropriate comments.
In some cases, Singh is said to have asked women to stand on scales before molesting them.
He first faced allegations at the High Court in June 2019.
At the time, his lawyer Janice Green said he denied all the charges.
Lord Armstrong adjourned the case until 10am on Friday.
