According to section 25 of the Information technology Act, 2000 the controller may revoke the licence regarding issue of electronic signature certificate issued under section 21 of the Act

  • A.Without making an inquiry and without giving resonable opportunity of showing cause against the proposed revocation.
  • B.By making an inquiry and without giving resonable opportunity of showing cause against the proposed revocation.
  • C.Without making an inquiry and without giving a resonable opportunity of showing cause against the proposed revocation.
  • D.By making an inquiry and giving a resonable opportunity of showing cause against the proposal revocation.

Answer: D

The answer is option D: by making an inquiry and giving a reasonable opportunity of showing cause.

Section 25 of the Information Technology Act allows the Controller to revoke a Certifying Authority's licence if satisfied, after making such inquiry as he thinks fit, of grounds such as false statements or breach of conditions. Its proviso adds that no licence shall be revoked unless the Certifying Authority has been given a reasonable opportunity of showing cause against the proposed revocation.

Options A, B and C each drop the inquiry, the hearing, or both. (The paper spells 'resonable'.)
