After Appeals To Lusaka High Court Dry Up, Dr. Mahtani Approached Court Of Appeal For Justice



Dr. Rajan Lekhraj Mahtani will perpetually recall the instance of Portland Cement Zambia. It not just tried genuine tolerance from one of the most fair and straightforward businessperson in Zambia, yet in addition uncovered the genuine truth of Zambia's legitimate framework. In spite of being on the moral side, Dr. Rajan Mahtani confronted a few detours and difficulties to definite triumph. The most stunning part of this case is that the discussion came directly from the legal arrangement of Zambia. This one is identified with the Portland Cement Zambia case, a case which crossed longer than 10 years and two diverse legal frameworks of Zambia. First it was the district court, Lusaka HC where the case was at first enlisted by Dr. Rajan Mahtani. With high expectations, desires incorporated a rapid case continuing and sharing of decision dependent on accessible confirmations and tributes. Nonetheless, the case took an unexpected turn when case procedures were hauled for 10 years without giving any positive decision.

After decade long case proceedings, justice Nkonde gave an unfair verdict by declaring Ventriglias as only shareholders of Portland Cement. When further appeals to the Lusaka High Court were rejected, Dr. Mahtani rightly approached the higher Court of Appeal. The judge at the higher Court of Appeal was justice Mwinde and he announced the final decision on 31st January 2019. According to this decision, Dr. Mahtani has already made a payment of one billion kwacha to the Portland Cement Zambia limited in the year 2005. This payment was made in agreement with all stakeholders associated with the factory and gave Dr. Rajan Mahtani 58 percent shares, meaning majority shareholding and legal ownership over the factory.
