Legal Question in Employment Law in India

The desktops issued to employees in company offices, and official email id's have a password. Both are controlled by admin. In case an employee leaves the organization the computer and emails can be accessed by company.
Negative side is in case of a sensitive matter/complaint/inquiry during which each employee is supposed to submit his version, the higher officials who are worried and are also being investigated can ( and do) take computer guy in influence and access the contents. Such incidences are real. What should be done?

Kindly clarify if a company has a email policy, and employee has been vindicated and is being forced and coerced, and if the employee forwards emails to his personal email id ( which is also registered with company and used by employee for official purpose at a time) then it is legal.
Can employee produce those email printouts in court?

Use some other email for matters believed to be sensitive or confidential.
