The Vernacular Press Act was passed in 1878 under the Governor Generalship and Viceroyalty of Lord Lytton, for better control of Indian language newspapers. The purpose of the Act was to control the printing and circulation of seditious material, specifically that which could produce disaffection against the British government
Vernacular Press Act, in British India, law enacted in 1878 to curtail the freedom of the Indian-language (i.e., non-English) press. Proposed by Lord Lytton, then viceroy of India (governed 1876–80), the act was intended to prevent the vernacular press from expressing criticism of British policies—notably, the opposition that had grown with the outset of the Second Anglo-Afghan War (1878–80). The act excluded English-language publications. It elicited strong and sustained protests from a wide spectrum of the Indian populace.
The law was repealed in 1881 by Lytton’s successor as viceroy, Lord Ripon (governed 1880–84). However, the resentment it produced among Indians became one of the catalysts giving rise to India’s growing independence movement. Among the act’s most vocal critics was the Indian Association (founded 1876), which is generally considered to be one of the precursors of the Indian National Congress (founded 1885).

Governor of British Company i.e. East India Company or British Govt. was residing and appointing his own staff for administration. When British came to India in 1604, they got some trading concessions from Mogul Emperor Jahangir and established their seat at Hoogly, afterwards they moved to Calcutta after defeating a weak Nawab Sirajuddola of Bengal in a flimsy fight by Lord Clive. Lord Clive begun ruling that area and it was under British protection. It was called Calcutta Presidency. Later on British expended to Madras Presidency, Bombay Presidency etc. On 1834 they made a legislative council and these Presidencies were properly established from administration, trading and expansion of Company Raj point of view.

Justice should be impartial because if the justice will not be favour in anybody, the right thing will win otherwise somebody who has more power and money will do the court in his side and the right will not get justice.
For starters, the main goal of the jurisdiction system must not be to punish the guilty, but to spare the innocent - otherwise it will be abused big time. There are countless examples for that in the history of jurisdiction. If the jurisdiction system isn't impartial, the safety of the innocent can't be guaranteed. Let's assume the case where the family members of the victim are responsible for making the judgement.
Family members of the victim (or the victim itself) i.e. aren’t qualified enough to decide if somebody is guilty. Their judgement is clouded by their involvement. Their need for justice — or even revenge — will make them easily believe in the culpability of a suspect — even without efficient proof. They want the responsible party sentenced, so they will sentence anyone remotely susceptible of committing the crime.
But there is more! Lets assume the case when the suspect is guilty. Lets assume (s)he has provably robbed and killed their beloved family member. They will understandably want the worst punishment available, without measuring additional circumstances. They won't care about mitigating circumstances like the suspect wanted to feed its family in need and hunger, or only killing the victim out of the consequence of unfortunate events. They — in their undoubtedly righteous rage — will ask for the worst punishment, even if the suspect doesn't deserve it.
So the reason for the jurisdiction system trying to be impartial is it is jurisdiction

Mahatma Gandhi felt that colonial education had enslaved Indians and created a sense of inferiority in the minds of Indians. It made them see Western civilisation as superior, and destroyed the pride they had in their own culture. Indians educated in these institutions welcomed everything that came from the West, and started admiring British rule. Gandhiji felt that English education made Indians strangers in their own lands.

Nomadic herders are common in Asia, Africa and Europe. Pastoralists tend to have poor quality livestock, and they live on many acres of land. In Africa, Nomads keep goats, camels, sheep and cattle. They depend on the animals for hides, meat and milk. The Fulani in Nigeria rely on cattle for milk, but don't slaughter animals for meat regularly. Today, some nomads practice farming.

In geology, a placer deposit or placer is an accumulation of valuable minerals formed by gravity separation during sedimentary processes. The name is from the Spanish word placer, meaning "alluvial sand". Placer mining is an important source of gold, and was the main technique used in the early years of many gold rushes, including the California Gold Rush. Types of placer deposits include alluvium, eluvium, beach placers, and paleoplacers.
Placer materials must be both dense and resistant to weathering processes. To accumulate in placers, mineral particles must be significantly denser than quartz (whose specific gravity is 2.65), as quartz is usually the largest component of sand or gravel. Placer environments typically contain black sand, a conspicuous shiny black mixture of iron oxides, mostly magnetite with variable amounts of ilmenite and hematite. Valuable mineral components often occurring with black sands are monazite, rutile, zircon, chromite, wolframite, and cassiterite.
