Curate [fr. Curator, Lat.], is a term properly applied to one who has the cure of souls, namely, the incumbent of a parish. The incumbent may have to assist him an 'assistant' or 'stipendiary' curate, often called 'curate' simply.

Thus understood, even the requirement of a person being 'ordinarily resident' at a particular place is incapable of ensuring nexus between him and the place in question, Kuldip Nayar v. Union of India, AIR 2006 SC 3127.Residence, is flexible and must be construed accord-ing to the object and intent of the particular legislation where it may be found. It must be something more than occupation during occasional usual visits within the local limits of the court, more specially where there is residence outside those limits marked with a considerable measure of continuance, Paster J.S.
