Legal Question in Employment Law in India

According to Rule 34 of the Industrial Disputes Rules 1957, notice of a change in any service conditions must be given to the workmen, in the prescribed manner. I want to know if I should stick to the process of issue of notice exactly as given in rule 34, or I can deviate slightly, for example, if I send an e-mail to all the workmen, would that be sufficient? Has any Court held that as long as the message is substantially conveyed, sticking to technicalities of the notice is not necessary?

Is there any decision by Indian Court about this aspect?

Dear Sir / Madam.

Although email is a legally recognized medium of official communication, it is advisable and recommended to serve the notice to each and every workmen of the organization and put it on the Workmen's Notice Board as visible to all employees.
