The court issued certain general directions to cellular companies and internet service providers. These companies provides such certificates. The Supreme Court by its judgment in the case of Anvar P.V. v P.K. Basheer has already established the point that a certificate was required for admissibility of evidence under Section 65B which was disturbed by the erroneous conclusion reached in certain cases like the Tomaso Bruno case and the Shafhi Mohammad case. The Supreme Court once again in the case of Arjun Panditrao v. Kailas Khusanrao Gorantyal and Ors. made it clear that a certificate is required by relying on the judgment delivered by the court in the case of Anvar P.V.

No, there is not a specific format prescribed under the law regarding certificate u/s 65 B of the evidence act. Moreover, certificate u/s 65B of the evidence act is required to be filed at the time of your examination-in-chief and not at the time of filing written statement. But without certificate u/s 65B your emails would not be read into your evidence.
