#Delay

A witness’s signature in testator’s presence remains valid even with advocate prompting the signing, and delay in filing for probate does not invalidate will absent a statutory limitation, benefiting executors and beneficiaries facing procedural delays.

Delay in an arbitral award alone does not vitiate it under Section 34 unless the delay is unexplained and adversely affects the findings. Thus, an award cannot be set aside just for delay; parties must prove unexplained delay affecting the findings.
