Indra Pal Singh vs State Of U.P on 2 December, 2008
17. From a perusal of the scheme of the said Government Orders and the law laid down by this Court in the case of Indrapal Singh (supra), it is evident that a class of members of the family of a sitting gram pradhan incur an automatic and immediate disqualification from being appointed as the fair price shop dealer of the village panchayat of the concerned village panchayat. The family members of the village pradhan, who are ipso facto disqualified from being the fair price shop dealer of the concerned village panchayat, are wife, son, unmarried daughter, mother, father and brother. The fact of such relationship with the sitting Gram Pradhan is the cause of disqualification of the said persons from being appointed as the fair price shop dealers. No further enquiry is required. This class is composed of the immediate family members of the village pradhan.
