Registration of Will is desirable but not mandatory(Compulsory) under the Law.
Re: unregistered will
You may need to contest the court case on the basis of will. The court decision will depend upon pleadings, evidence on record and over all appreciation of the case by the learned Judge.
Re: unregistered will
it is not compulsory to get the will registered and unregistered will is also considered to be genuine provided the signature of the executor and witnesses is genuine.
