A phony court has been exposed in Gujarat, after the discovery of phony government offices, toll plazas, hospitals, and officials. A man was charged by the ahmedabad police on monday with operating a fictitious arbitration tribunal and issuing several arbitration rulings from 2019 to 2024.
 
Morris Samuel Christian, 37, of Gandhinagar, has been taken into custody by the police on several allegations, including criminal breach of trust, cheating, forgery, and giving false information to government employees. Based on a written complaint submitted by hardik Desai, a civil judge who is presently the registrar of the ahmedabad Civil court, the FIR was lodged at the Karanj police station in Ahmedabad. According to the complaint, he submitted it at the judge's (J L Chovatia) request at the ahmedabad City Civil and Sessions court.
 
The deception was discovered when Babjuji Thakor filed a civil suit in the city civil court to assert his ownership of a piece of government land in the Paldi district. ahmedabad, the collector, was the target of the civil lawsuit. Thakor had presented the claim certificate that Morris had illegally granted him by the 1996 Arbitration and Conciliation Act. According to the FIR, in 2019, he served as an arbitrator and granted Thakor the claim award as the legitimate owner of the property lot.

"Morris claimed himself as an arbitrator, gave false claim statements for his clients, and created the entire arbitration proceeding" in the fictitious court he had established in Gandhinagar, according to a letter released by the local police. Several pictures of his "fake court" showed Morris seated in the courtroom like a judge, with accessories that made it look like a real courtroom. "He created an environment of a court by keeping staff, advocates and himself presided over as a judge," the complaint read. It further stated that "he filed cases, passed orders, and tried to make applicants owners of land worth in crores." According to police sources, Morris gave his clients at least a dozen bogus claims, which are being looked at.

Six fictitious government offices were shut down last year after defrauding the government of many crores. In the Morbi district, five people were also charged with operating a phony toll booth and "extorting" money from commuters.
