Yes,Legal Notice sent through email is absolutely valid in Eye of Law. No mode prescribed for service notice u/s 138 of the N.I.Act. It is sufficient that notice has served on you. You should reply the notice.

YES, I AGREE WITH MR. GOYAL. THE NOTICE SENT THROUGH E MAIL IS PERFECTLY VALID, YOU SHOULD REPLY IT.

Unless a statute expressly provides for mode of service of a notice, notice can be served in any mode. In your case, as no mode of service of notice is provided, the service of notice by e-mail is valid. If you have received the notice, you must reply it.

Yes the notice throuh e-mail is valid. But unless some strong objection could be raised through reply I would not suggest you to make any reply to such notice.
