so my query is if the will document has any time limit for validity

Your query is not clear!

Kumar Doab (Expert) 18 September 2016
Do you mean that 'Can WILL be registered after death of testator'?

It is noted that as posted by you witnesses are still alive.

Guest (Expert) 18 September 2016
Try with the sub-registrar and come forward for solution with the actual objection if he raises.

Otherwise, your question is merely an academic query.

Unregistered will is also equally valid. If your great grandfather is not alive, may proceed to get it probated.

Will can not be registered on death of the testator.
Unregistered Will is very much valid and need not be registered anymore to enforce it.

Kumar Doab (Expert) 18 September 2016
As posted by you witnesses are still alive.

Submit the WILL to act upon it.
If contested probate may be the recourse.

There is no requirement of the registration of the will. It can still be valid.

Guest (Expert) 19 September 2016
Will is valid, until legally declared void or illegal.

Well summarized, agree with expert P.S. Dhingra ji.

A long silence of the author on the query makes it resolved then why to revive it after such long long period without having new issue?
