HI
I hope this answer helps you
Explanation:
On receiving a report from the sedition committee headed by Justice Rowlatt, 2 bills were introduced in the Central Legislature in February, 1919. The purpose of the Bills was to curb the growing upsurge in the country. In spite of opposition from the Indians, the Rowlatt Act was passed in March,1919. This act was authorised the Government to imprison any person without trial and convict him in a court.
The Rowlatt Act implied:
1. Arrest of a person without a warrant
2. In camera trial
3. Restrictions on movements of individuals
4. Suspension of the writ of Habeas Corpus
The act came like a sudden blow to the Indians who were expecting self-governance. Gandhiji appealed to the Viceroy to withhold his consent to such measures. However his appeal was ignored. He started 'Satyagraha' as challeng to the Government.
