The Vernacular press Act was pass in 1887.
Before this act was passed, the newspapers of each state produced newspapers in their mother tongued . So, what was published could not be understood by the colonial government. They thought that they would publish news against them which would result in a revolt or a rebel. So to prevent this, the colonial government passed the vernacular press act so that all the news is published in English and they could understand what was being published.

it was an act passed by Lord Lytton to have a better control on Indian newspapers.

The main aim of this act is to control the printing and circulation of seditious material.

this gave colonial govt many powers and rights to check and restrict the printing of indian languaged newspapers.
