- Compliance with the rule of law to provide writers with dysgraphia

New delhi date. Friday, February 12, 2021

The Supreme Court in a judgment made a statement meaning that our development lies in the development of the disabled. Disability affecting writing ability can be accepted as paralysis, according to the apex court. The person suffering from it has the right to obtain a writer in other competitive examinations including the prestigious civil service examination conducted by UPSC.

Our development from the development of the paralyzed: SC

According to the apex court, this is not a matter of generosity or privilege for those suffering from dysgraphia. Providing Writer facilities to such people is a matter of legal observance to ensure that a person with disability can live a life of equality and dignity in the society.

The bench of Justice DY Chandrachud, Justice Indira Banerjee and Justice Sanjeev Khanna asked the central government to make guidelines and rules within 3 months to allow disabled students to sit with writers in all competitive examinations.

According to the bench, a person with a disability should be consulted to make decisions in matters affecting the life of a person with a disability. Their participation in any meaningful change should be ensured. The apex court dismissed the argument of possible misuse of the central government facility. At the same time, it is said that if a crippled person does not fully recognize his abilities due to obstacles in his way, it is a loss to our society. We should help her in every possible way. Their growth is our growth and their failure is our failure.

The apex court passed the order following an inquiry into the application of MBBS Vikas Kumar. Vikas Kumar, who is suffering from dysgraphia, was barred by the UPSC from writing for the exam. Vikas knocked on the door of the tribunal and the Delhi High Court and finally knocked on the door of the Supreme Court.
