Can a request be made to a legal body to use email address?

Every other person forget the corpotrates and income tax depts every other person is using electronics communication. But Indian govt, computer illeterate police and legal proffessionals are against  computerisation. They love to live in stone age. They thrive on sufferings of commonman. They do not want email,sms, e filing of plaints, WS or anything. U r liing in sick mentality group and have to continue to live like that. That is a curse to all born in India so u cant do anything.

for your information emails are recognised as valid evidence in courts in india . after enactment of Infomtaion techonology act 2000 emails are valid .

A request can always be made. Whether the legal body acts there upon depends on the legal body. However, e-mails are admitted as evidence in courts in India.

Heart felt thanks to all.

Such address for service furnished by the party, unless a change therein has been notified to the Court by filing a memorandum to that effect, shall be presumed to be his correct address for service for purposes of suit, any appeal or revision or other proceeding directed against the decree or order passed in that suit, when a memorandum of change of address is filed by any party, a note to that effect shall be made in the cause title of the pleading and if the pleading happens to be the written statement also in the cause title of the plaint."

1). Is email valid in this context, i.e. for legal proceeds?

2). Can I furnish my true address and also my email address (on a legally signed affidavit and nothing less) and make a specific request to that legal body that I face practical difficulties and so should be intimated by email ALSO.

3). Can I furnish my true address, email address and make a request to that legal body that due to practical difficulties, I do not want any of my correspondences to be mailed and that all of them should beheld in my case file/dispatch etc and that I would visit that legal body (say once in a week or so) to check if I have any mail?

[THIS IS POSSIBLE IN RTI. I CAN MAKE A REQUEST THAT I WILL HANDLE THE CORRESPONDENCES IN PERSON. ALL MY MAIL WILL BE WITH THAT ORGANISATION. IT WILL NOT BE POSTED (MAILED) AND I CAN COLLECT THEM PERSONALLY].

4).  Can I furnish just my email address?

ALL IN ALL, INTERNET BASED (i.e. email / announcement on website etc) IS THE MOST SUITABLE. Is making a request to suit this need rightful, legal?
