Sorry, you are pretty much out of luck.  The message was sent via X.400
and passed thru an X.400<-->RFC822 Gateway.  Actually, some of the headers
suggest that it may have gone RFC822--->X.400--->RFC822

This header

> X400-Content-Type: P2

indicates that the X.400 system is 1984 compliant.  There were many
"broken" gateways back then and some folks haven't gotten around to
upgrading their systems.  

The message came thru nic.in but we have similar troubles with messages
passing thru vsnl.net.in

Regards,
Ed
