How can my father revoke his will?

There is no need to cancel the present Will by additional step?

Your father can very well register new Will wherein you father can mention about the cancellation of old Will.

Application can be filed with the sub-registrar to verify the document at your house...

IN MY VIEW WILL IS A REGISTERED DOCUMENT AND THE OLD WILL MUST BE REVOKED AND A NEW WILL MUST BE REGISTERED AND THE PERSON WHO HAS MADE A WILL HAS THE RIGHT AND LIBERTY TO CHANGE THE WILL AS MANY TIME HE/SHE CAN.

Last genuine will come to force .

Dear Mr Kamatchi, 

As per principles of law governing testamentary succession, a testator can get a new 'Will' registered any time as he pleases. However, you must do the following to as to make 'Will' reasonably immune from challenge. 

1. In the new Will, include a para wherein the last will should be mentioned and it should also mention that the old will is being replaced with this new 'Will' because of change in family circumstances and so as to make provision for my ____ son. (this is your name)

2. Generally a 'Will' is challenged on the ground that the testator was under pressure and was not in fit mental condition to make the Will. So I would advise you to get a written opinion from a registered medical practitioner about the mental condition of your father. Keep the opinion safely for future use in case the need arises.
