1)Can the witnesses be relatives like my wife or my co-brothers?
2)Is it necessary that the witness has to read the will before signing?

Limtation act

Hi all,
There is an agreement of sale dated 25th day of July 2007 entered between owner and purchaser. At the time of agreement purchaser paid certain amount in advance, possession is to be delivered after registration of sale deed,and one of the clause of the said agreement reads as under,
"the remaining balance sale consideration amount will be paid by the purchaser to the owner on or beore 12 months or at the time of registration which ever is earliar and both parties agreed for the same".
Immediate after the date of the agreement of sale, till date the purchaser neither offerd the balance sale consideration to the owner nor shown any interest to get the sale deed registred with the owner, so far no legal notice is issued by the purchaser to show that he is ready and willing to perform his part of contract to register the sale deed in his favor by paying balance sale consideration.
While matter stood thus one "X" person is now intending to purchse the same property with the aforsaid owner by paying at present marke value.
Now my question under the said circumstances 1)whether purchser can maintain a suit for specific performance of agreement of sale dt 12th july 2007?
2)If he files such suit, i want to know whether the said suit will be barred by limitation?
3)can owner now cancell the aforesaid agreemnt of sale by issuing a legal notice to the purchaser?
4)whether owner can enter in to another agreement of sale with "X" at present market value by cancelling the earliar agreemnt of sale?

Property share of women

My grandfather had 6 children, he died in 1974. Four male children (including my father) shared the peoperty orally in 1974 itself, except my father all have sold their properties.
My father now wants to sell his share of property but his sister who is 80 yearold has filed a case for equal share. She was married in 1955 and has no husband she is having two children (one male and one female).
Whom would law favour if we file objections please answer ? My father or my aunt ?
