Under Section 29(1) of the IT Act, 2000, the Controller's power of access to a computer system arises when he has reasonable cause to suspect which of the following?
The access power arises when the Controller has reasonable cause to suspect that any contravention of the provisions of this Chapter has been committed. The earlier wording covering the whole Act, rules and regulations was substituted in 2009, so the trigger is narrower now.
- AAny contravention of the provisions of this Chapter has been committedCorrect
- BAny contravention of any Act administered by the Central Government
- CAny contravention of rules made under the Companies Act, 2013
- DAny loss of profit by a body corporate
Explanation
After the 2009 amendment, Section 29(1) refers to any contravention of the provisions of this Chapter, replacing the earlier wording of this Act, rules and regulations. The other options go beyond the trigger stated in the section.
