Registration of a WILL by the testator only provides evidence that proper parties appeared before the registering officer and that the officer attested the same after duly ascertaining their identity. However,Registration accords no special sanctity to the WILL. Registered or otherwise a WILL must be proved as duly and validly executed as required under Indian Succession Act. In the given situation,namely,non- acceptance of the WILL by the relative, the aggrieved son(the beneficiary)may apply to competent Court for grant of Probate. A Probate granted by Court forms conclusive evidence of the validity of the WILL.

Hi. Registered or unregistered Will does not make a difference as it is not compulsory under the Indian Registration Act. A will has to be proved in accordance with law i.e. Indian Evidence Act, which lays down the procedure to prove a Will.

The Supreme Court stated that merely registering a will is not sufficient to prove validity. It must be proven in accordance with sections 68 and 63 of Indian Evidence Act of 1872.
