As long as this letter wasn't obtained by you fraudulently, there's nothing to worry. Or there could be trouble, if the govt. Says that there is no such document in their record. Beyond these two eventualities, there's nothing to worry.

1) you can in case any notice is issued to you mention that you had only relied upon said document in court proceedings
2) document was not mentioned as confidential or classifed
3)you have not committed any offence in relying upon said document
I believe this has been answered previously.
If the document is a confidential one then you can not use it.
But if the same has been obtained by some other person officially then you can use it.
Meaning thereupon that you can not reproduce the confidential documents anywhere.

Legally, Memorandum is a informal instrument. So, you can not use it in court.

There is no illegality in utilising the said documents provided the contents are verified to be genuine and sources procured are reliable.
Is as per any csr, or any civil or criminal rules or law or act can i be made liable if yes why if no what is quantum of punishment.
Until and unless you has misused your position there is nothing wrong in such issues.
You may not worry about this becasue the authorities will refer to the genuineness of the document and they would not go beyond the source from where you procured such information.
There is no illegality in it.
