Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in India

My Father died after making 2 wills. The 1st one was in favor of me and the second one was in favor of my sister. Both the wills are properly drafted & notarized. The medical certificate was obtained and the will was signed by 2 witnesses. An executioner was appointed.. There is no mention of 1st will while making 2nd will. Can the 1st will be challenged & evoked. What is the status of the 1st will? Does it stand cancelled?
