1. Yes resignation sent through email is absolutely valid.
2. Your friend need to first represent the matter in writing to his employer and seek their reply/decision before proceeding legal action.

Mr.Nilesh Mishra, your query is how to take action against the employee who sent his resignation through email. Mr.Loganathan and other experts advised you how to take action against the company wherein the employee worked.
If the resignation is received even through email giving notice of 3 months, there is no claim for the company against the employee.

Sending resignation notice by email is valid.
But, if your not serving 3 months notice (if required as per the agreement), the company is having right to claim salary in lieu of notice period.
