Hello,

For filing any evidence in electronic form one has to file an affidavit under section 65B of the Indian Evidence Act, failing which the same becomes non admissible in the eyes of law.

Also, if a false affidavit has been filed then you may ask the court to pass an order to the effect that the veracity of the electronic evidence be checked before relying on the same.
