The Ilbert Bill was a bill introduced in 1883 under the reign of the Viceroy Lord Ripon(who earned the epithet Ripon-The good[citation needed]) which was written by Sir C.P Ilbert ( The law member of the Viceroy's Council). According to the said Act, Indian judges could try a European accused.
Lord Ripon had a marathon discussion with Sir CP Ilbert to change the act, thereby favouring the Indians. This is called the famous Ilbert Bill or the White Mutiny (1883).
It was named after Courtenay Ilbert, the recently appointed legal adviser to the Council of India, who had proposed it as a compromise between two previously suggested bills. However, the introduction of the bill led to intense opposition in Britain and from British settlers in India that ultimately played on racial tension before it was enacted in 1884 in a severely compromised state. [1]The bitter controversy deepened antagonism between the British and Indians and was a prelude to the formation of the Indian National Congress in the next two years.And there was a strong protest among europeans
