Legal Question in Criminal Law in India

My friend was verbally insulted by his relatives since his marriage had broken down. In revenge, my friend wrote a series of nasty, insulting emails to his relatives (husband, wife and daughter). There is no proof of the verbal insult since it was not recorded, however there is proof of written emails.

In court of law, relatives will deny verbal insults whereas my friend will be forced to apologize since there are proofs against him in form of written emails.

Will my friend get convicted and sent to prison in such a case after an apology is given? Will relatives go scot free since there is no proof against them and their lies are not found out even during cross examination?

A wise judge will realize that the insults by email are in retaliation to verbal insults even though no proof of verbal insult is obtained and give benefit of doubt to my friend and quash the case after an apology is given by my friend.

How does the court handle such matters?
