Subpoena for deleted emails

I wanted to file an case against my wife for divorce as she is indulged in external affair. The email communication between them have been deleted from yahoo mail account. I wanted to retrieve the same using court order, what is the process in India.

I have searched in web and found subpoena is the process in USA for retrieving deleted emails, ( check the below link for more information) . What is the process in India.

First procedure is to contact a Lawyer. Without that you cant do anything. Contact good advocate and tell him your problem. he will do needful.

I did contact few esteemed lawyers personally and none of them had any idea about it. So I thought to put this up in the forum for help

Can I get any reference of lawyer's whom I have to connect with preferably in Bangalore. In case of lawyer's outside Bangalore, I can take an consultation and work with Bangalore lawyer to get that going in court

I think no court order is necessary. You can browse for retrieving emails.

The email account is of my wife and she will not allow me to access it now. The deleted emails will make my case stronger in court if I get them through subpoena. Kindly help how can I get the same in Indian courts, does someone had the similar scenario

It is illegal to access someone else's emails. If you try to do it yourself, you could face criminal action under IT act. Needless to say court won't help you get them either through orders. Also Indian courts have absolutely no jurisdiction on Yahoo email servers that reside in USA. So stop all this thinking and pursue another direction.
