It has been almost two years since Vallabhbhai was practicing in Godhra. During this period his practice got solidified and the income also increased. Meanwhile, Vithalbhai got embroiled in a case in Borsad. It happened that Vithalbhai complained against a British magistrate to the Ghori government.
The investigation started on this and it seemed that the English magistrate would be punished. Therefore, according to the practice of those days, there was a fear that all the British officers would join hands to entangle Vithalbhai in some false case. When Vallabhbhai came to know about this, Vallabhbhai thought that the elder brother needed his help, so he left Godhra and went to Borsad.
Vallabhbhai established his independent office at Borsad. His fame had grown from Godhra itself, so he started getting good clients in Borsad too. Here both his fame and income increased manifold. He also helped his brother fiercely during this period.
