Email not valid proof in Indian courts?

Raja (Querist) 25 November 2008 This query is : Resolved
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 these 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

It can be used as evidence, an in many cases it has been accepted. Now the only question will be its autheniticity. In my case the Company didnot deny the email's, so things were smooth.

It will be accepted as it is an electronic record. The proof is the source of the mail.

Email can be an evidence under the Law.

It is accepted as a valid proof on verification
