Enacted in 1837, it was originally meant to prevent incitement against the British monarch.<\/p>\n<p>Legal experts said it emerged as a lethal tool in the hands of police to book dissenters.<\/p>\n<p>It is a non-bailable offense and has life imprisonment as maximum punishment. Mahatma Gandhi was charged with sedition by British officials and tried in 1922.<\/p>\n<p>According to the data compiled by the National Crime Records Bureau, the number of registered sedition cases doubled from 35 in 2016 to 75 in 2018.
