Section 27 of ITA, 2000 : Section 27: Power To Delegate

Explanation using Example

Suppose a major IT company, TechCorp, is under investigation for potential violations of the Information Technology Act, 2000. The Controller of Certifying Authorities, who is responsible for overseeing the investigation, has a large number of cases to handle and cannot personally oversee the TechCorp case. He decides to delegate this responsibility to his Deputy Controller. In this scenario, he will write a formal authorization, allowing the Deputy Controller to exercise the powers of the Controller in relation to the investigation of TechCorp under the given Chapter of the Act. This is a practical application of Section 27 of The Information Technology Act, 2000.
