Discussion
In the context of S. 38(1) of the IT Act, 2000 dealing with revocation of Digital signature certificate, which one of the following is not the ground for revocation ?
Answer: C
The one that is not a ground under section 38(1) is revocation if the subscriber is punished by a competent court.
Section 38(1) of the Information Technology Act, 2000 lets a Certifying Authority revoke a certificate (a) on the request of the subscriber or a person authorised by him, (b) on the subscriber's death, and (c) on the dissolution of the firm or winding up of the company where the subscriber is a firm or company. These are options A, B and D.
Section 38(2) adds grounds such as a false material fact in the certificate or compromise of the private key, but punishment by a court is not among the grounds of section 38(1).
