| I intend to file a case on my ex-employer for a final settlement problem. I have all the evidence on email and pdf documents but I have been told that emails are not a valid proof in court. Can someone please clarify this? Can I also see where this is specifically mentioned (on some govt site etc)? If I cannot use emails and pdf docs, then what can I show as evidence? Addnl Note: The emails and pdf documents do not have the company seal but emails have been sent from the official ids Dear Friends, As said in earlier replies, e mails are accepted as valid proof as per the amendment in Evidence Act through Information Technology act, 2000. But at the same time the same e mails (data) should be maintained in the original form in the system (computer) till court passes order / decree based upon the said e mails (data). The e mails can be deleted only after lapse / completion of the appeal period. Muthu, Advocate.
