When did the British government pass the notorious Rowlatt Act, which allowed the political detention of persons without trial?
1919
The Rowlatt Act, officially the Anarchical and Revolutionary Crimes Act, was passed by the Imperial Legislative Council in March 1919 on the recommendation of the Rowlatt Committee. It empowered the government to arrest and detain suspects without trial and to try political cases without juries. Widespread protests against it led to the Rowlatt Satyagraha and the Jallianwala Bagh massacre later the same year. Hence 1919 is the correct year.
