Detailed Solution

The above statement is true. The Rowlatt Act was also called the Anarchical and Revolutionary Crimes Act of 1919.
British India's legislature passed the Rowlatt Act in February 1919. The act provided the non-jury trial of some political crimes and the imprisonment of suspects without charge. They sought to replace the oppressive terms of the Defense of India Act (1915) with a permanent statute. This was constructed using the 1918 report of Justice S.A.T. Rowlatt's committee. Before the Jallianwala Bagh Massacre and the subsequent non-cooperation movement, Mahatma Gandhi had established a campaign protesting this.
