Sometimes, justice needs more than just rules it needs empathy and courage. That’s exactly what unfolded when India’s Supreme Court stepped to right a wrong and brought hope to one deserving woman. Rekha Sharma, a courageous candidate with low vision, will finally be able to wear the robe of justice, as the Apex Court directed the Rajasthan High Court to appoint her as a Civil Judge.

Rekha Sharma’s Journey to Justice

Rekha Sharma belongs to the general category and is also from an economically weaker section. Despite her visual disability, she cracked the civil judge exam with flying colours. She secured 119 marks more than the required qualifying score for candidates with blindness and low vision. But instead of receiving the reward for her hard work, she was denied an appointment.

Supreme Court Special Powers Bring Hope

Moved by her case, the bench of Justice B V Nagarathna and Justice Satish Chandra Sharma used their extraordinary powers under Article 142 of the Constitution. This article allows the Supreme Court to pass any order to ensure “complete justice” in any matter. The Court directed the Rajasthan High Court to either appoint Rekha Sharma directly or create a supernumerary seat an extra post that doesn’t affect the sanctioned strength but ensures deserving candidates don’t get left behind.

A Landmark Moment for Inclusive Justice

This decision is not just about Rekha Sharma. It sends a powerful message across the country that disability should never become a reason to deny someone their rightful place. It’s a story of resilience, hope, and the kind of justice that looks beyond technicalities to see the human soul striving for dignity.

The Supreme Court reminded us that laws are made for people, and when people suffer because of flaws in the system, the judiciary must step in and fix what’s broken. Rekha Sharma’s appointment as a civil judge is not just her victory it’s a symbol of inclusive justice for all.
