My grand father wrote a will in favor of his children. We were told to get it authorised through court but we were also told that registering it in sub registrar office is a quick method to obtain validity. What is legal? Court or sub registrar office?

Both are equally valid.
A will can be registered after the death of testator provided the sub-registrar is satisfied about the genuineness of the document presented for registration.

probate is judicial proof that will is genuine . if you want to property bequeathed under will you have to apply to court in this regard prove will was executed
Will may or may not be registered. It should have been witnessed by 2 witnesses. Once testator is dead, there is no need to register a WILL. You can probate it by applying to a District court having competent jurisdiction.
