Detailed Solution

The Sedition Act of 1870 was any person protesting the British could be arrested without trial. By permitting people to be detained without a warrant if they were accused of instigating a rebellion, the British abused their power. Under this law, people were arrested and detained in cells without being informed of their charges. Sedition was addressed by Section 124-A, which was adopted in 1870. It illustrates that encouraging hatred or contempt for the Indian government is what sedition is legally defined to be. Three years in prison, a fine, or life in prison are all possible penalties in this situation.
