The signatures of the subscribers must be authenticated by a witness who is not a subscriber himself. He shall likewise add his name, father's name, address, age and occupation, if he is a member of the professional body, membership number with shall also be written if any. If attestation of Memorandum of Association which has been registered turns out to be irregular, it does not render the same void [Chotalal v Dal Sukram (1892) ILR 17 Bom 472].
