1. If the document is genuine then no forgery or cheating is made out.

2. To use a true copy of the document, even though it may not have been obtained directly from the central government, does not constitute any offence.

As long this wasn't a classified or a confidential document, there's nothing to worry. If this document was capable of being obtained under the RTI Act, there's nothing that the Govt. can actually do against you.

If the document is a confidential one then you are not advised to produce it before the authorities in order to get your right. the department may ask you the source of document and might charge you with unauthorized possession of government document.

However, if the document is the public document and has been procured by some other person officially then you can use it anywhere without any hesitation or legal impediment.

You can not use the private document created by some body for the confidential use. Even if the document is genuine, but It amounts to forgery/cheating.

Can you share which kind of document is that? .

What was the document used by yo and what was the purpose that you used this document?

Is it contravening any rules in this regard.

If no, then there is no legal infirmity in it.

You may relax until there is any objection or action from the concerned authorities, if nothing is forthcoming then you may ignore these worries and go ahead with your own commitments
