Is an unregistered will on five rupees non judicial stamp valid


05-May-2023 (In Wills / Trusts Law)
I am Hindu. My late grandfather has handwritten his will on five ruppes non judicial stamp paper, counter signed by two witnesses but it is not registered. Is it valid? Also when my father applied for property transfer in Nagarpalika with the will paper. It was objected by my uncles. Can muncipial corporation reject the claim on the basis of registration of the will document?

Yes the will is valid and not necessary to register the will and will can be executed in a plain paper and above mention will is admissable in evidence and this will is legal if a will is proper stamps or registered then is good for evidence but a simple will is admissable in law but depends on attested witness are alive
