A Certifying Authority suspends the Digital Signature Certificate of Anita Traders in public interest. It wants the suspension to continue for 20 days. Which statement is correct under the Information Technology Act, 2000?
A suspension longer than fifteen days is permissible only if the subscriber has been given an opportunity of being heard. Public interest is a valid ground to suspend, but the hearing safeguard still applies once the suspension would go beyond fifteen days.

- BSuspension can never exceed ten days in any case
- CSuspension for any period needs no hearing if it is in public interest
- DSuspension beyond fifteen days needs a court order
Explanation
Section 37(2) says a certificate shall not be suspended for more than fifteen days unless the subscriber has been given an opportunity of being heard. Public interest allows suspension under section 37(1)(b) but does not remove the hearing requirement for longer periods.
