Best answer
Correct Answer - Option 1 : 1878

The correct answer is 1878.

  • The Vernacular Press Act was passed in 1878 by Viceroy Lord Lytton (1876-1880).
  • This Act allowed Magistrates to collect security deposits from Regional Language/Native language/Vernacular newspapers and confiscate their printing press if they published anything against the crown.
  • However, these same rules are not applied to English Language Printing Press.
