Union Law Minister Kiren Rijiju on Sunday praised the Supreme Court’s decision to permit a civil judge recruitment aspirant in Uttarakhand, who has a writer’s cramp, to have a scribe write his preliminary exam.
The remarks were made on Sunday, a day after the interim order was issued by a bench led by Chief Justice of India (CJI) D Y Chandrachud.
“This is such a heart-warming action by hon’ble Chief Justice Dr D Y Chandrachud. A great relief to a divyang (person with disability) candidate who sought a scribe for the Judicial Service exam in Uttarakhand,” Rijiju tweeted.

Timely justice to a deserving person is “very satisfying”, he said while sharing a screenshot of a tweet by the candidate’s lawyer who had approached the top court.
Writer’s cramp is a task-specific movement disorder that causes abnormal postures and unwanted muscle spasms while writing, which hinders motor performance.
