Definition of relative excludes parents' siblings, so uncles and aunts do not bar appointment as statutory auditor.
A person is a relative only if related as father (including step father), mother (including step mother), son (including step son), son's wife, daughter, daughter's husband, brother (including step brother) or sister (including step sister); mother's or father's brothers and sisters are therefore not treated as relatives for the purpose of restricting appointment as a statutory auditor.
