Answer
The objective of the Ilbert Bill was to provide for the trial of British or European persons by Indians. By this Act, the British tried to introduce equality between British and Indian judges in India.
This Bill was not passed because it was resented by the British and they started a Defence Association to defend their special privileges. This reaction provoked counter-agitation by educated Indians. The government ultimately withdrew the Bill.
