Ms. Sunita Jain, Panel Lawyer for the respondents/State. OR&ER -^ '^- (Passed on2"a bay of February, 2007) The following orderof the Court wos passed bySatish K. Agnihotri. J. 1. Learned counsel oppearing for the petitioner submits that the petitioner applied for the post of Angan Badi Sahayika in villa9e Khamhariya, Tdhsil & Block Berla, District-&urg in place of the petitioner, the respondent No. 5 has been selected. The petitioner has impugned theorderof appointment of respondent No. 5 dated 30-12-2006 (Annexure P/l) on two grounds;- (i) the respondentNo. 5 f- is in close relation of a Panch i.e. uncle-in-law. (ii) the petitioner has better qualification i.e. Higher Secondary School Certificate ond the respondent No. 5 has Class 8 passedexamination certificate. 2. Explanation to Section 40 of Panchayat Raj Avam 6ram Swaraj Adhiniyam, 1993 defines the expression 'relative'. Relative means c J' €•-- Subhaah father, mother, brother, sister, husbond, wife,son, daughter, mother-in-taw, father-in-law, brother-in-law, sister-in-law, son-in-lcw or daughter-in-law. Uncle-in-law doesnot come within purview of relative. Even otherwise, in village community, it is the normal practice toaddress the inhabitants of the village by expression uncle (Kaka, Dada) etc. The address by 'Kaka' and 'Dada' does not make a relatiye by blood relationship. 3. The submission of tearned counsel oppearing for the petitioner on Ihis point is noticed only to be rejected. With regard to the qualification, the An9<3n Badi scheme at Clause 2(1) clearly provides that a candidate having Class 8th passed examination certificate should be given priprity. In the event Class 8 passed examination tady candidate is not wailable, Higher Secondary School Certificate passed moy be considered for oppointment. In the present case, admittedly, the petitioner is hming 1-ligher Secondary Examination Certificate and the respondent No. 5 is having Cloiss 8 passed e5<amination certificate. Accordingty, the respondent No. 5 has to be preferred. Accordin9ly, the appointment of the respondent No. 5 is f legal, in accordonce with guidelines for appointmentof the Angan Badi Sahoyika. 4. For the reasons hereinabove, this Writ petition is dismissed summarily. -S(lfe:. satislii|@ 'JiKlgie^
