I totally agree with Avinash. In an ideal isituation, strict vigilance is the solution rather than restrictions and cheating even happens by people not using scribes. But then we are in asituation where the ideal situation is in danger.
I think instead of restrictions, disclosure could be an alternative. So a scribe has to disclose if she/he has taken the exam previously and if so the marks/rank obtained. The qualification of scribe should be disclosed in details like subject studied and marks and all. This along with harsher punishment claiuse (for malpractice) should have some detrimental effect. There has been cases like the maths teacher was made a scribe for a maths exam and all. Also in my experience , I have observed that scribe helping the examinee assuming that the small helps are OK and does not break the rule. A more detailed Do's and Don'ts could again be a deterrent.
