A.Dear Client,
Yes, you can.
But, please have a look to the following.
Supreme Court on Admissibility of Electronic Records as Secondary Evidence
Section 65-B of the Evidence Act and subsequent principle laid in Anvar
In 2002, the Evidence Act underwent major changes by introduction of the Information Technology Act, 2000("IT" Act). Amendments were made in the Evidence Act, to make provisions for admitting evidence by way of electronic records. Explanation to Section 3 was added to incorporate all electronic records in the definition of 'Documentary Evidence' under the Evidence Act. Further, Section 65-A and Section 65-B were introduced with the amendments, as special provisions pertaining to the admissibility of electronic evidence. Section 63 and Section 65 deal with the manner and conditions for relying on secondary evidence.

A.Electronic evidences are well accepted in the court of law and if the facebook post is relevant to your case then you can certainly bring it forward and produce in the court of law. The court may ask for the veracity of the post but that can be established by employing right skills after having permission from the learned court.
