Yes it is valid as it has at least one witness available as well it is registered Will.

( 1 ) Authenticity of will can not be doubted as the same is registered.
( 2 ) one witness is sufficient to prove the signature of tests for.
Will is perfectly valid.

2 witnesses are must for a valid will.

In my opinion will is not valid.

Sir, actually there are 2 witnesses, but 1 is the husband of benifitter.
Now sister of benifitter is filled a case with saying malafide intentions.
Can this Will give the favor to benefitter?

A beneficiary shall not sign as a witness in a Will.

It is valid as the witness is not beneficiary but he is the husband of claimant, who is better witness than others. His wife shall have to no alternative but to accept him as a "genuine and independent witness".
