Sec 226 contains qualifications & disqulaifications of an auditor. Relative of a director is not disqualified from being appointed as auditor of company. Hence he can be appointed as auditor provided either his or the director's independence should not be effected due to this appointment.
One should also consider sec 314 regarding office or place of profit while making such appointment. (although generally 314 is not applicable for professional services)
Hence for details refer sec 226 & 314 of companies act

Dear Ravi,
Section 226 of the Companies Act says "A person shall not be qualified for appointment as auditor of a company unless he is a chartered aacountant within the meaning of the Chartered Accountants Act,1949". Thus it becomes clear that there is no restriction by the companies act on appointing a director's relative as an auditor of the company.
