yes, but careful drafting of RTI application is required. I think a lawyer should be consulted. I don't think asking for MOU will help in this regard firstly because one will have to fight a battle to prove larger public interest to get a copy of MOU , secondly, MOU is not the right document. As you said "can we file one more RTI asking with reference to the letter from MHRD" is the right point. I will like to put some points: 1) Why were MHRD recommendations not taken into consideration. 2) Name of the committee members and their experience in propritory and open source software and the time spend by the committee to decide ............. 3) What advantages were seen in propritory and what were the disadvantages on open source software because of which propritory software was chosen. 4) What studies were made and the details of the experts in open source software who were consulted before reach to the conclusion that propitiatory software are the best. I have just posted some points, not properly drafted, but will help you on how to trap those guys. I have just reached Delhi and a bit tired, and I am sure you can easily find mistakes, so, if you find any mistake just correct yourself. If anyone want, I can try to get this properly drafted. I think RTI is the cheapest tool and the most efficient one to trap them. As per my experience [in Distt Courts] it will not be wise to file a case.
