Answer
At that time no European could be tried for a criminal offence except by a European judge or magistrate. The objective of the Ilbert Bill was to do away with this absurdity.
It was not passed because the Anglo-Indian community was upset when this Bill was introduced and carried on a wild agitation against this measure.
