Supreme Court Decision Aligns With Higher Court Of Appeal, Rejects Claim By The Ventriglias

The battle between Dr. Rajan Lekhraj Mahtani and the Ventriglias has been going on for eternity. This war has been political, social, individual and business related. The two names are renowned in Zambia in their own particular manner. At one side is Dr. Rajan Lekhraj Mahtani, quite possibly the most moral and straightforward business manager in Zambia with various effective organizations. He isn't just praised for his effective undertakings yet in addition for his altruistic and beneficent exercises. Then again, the Ventriglias are famous in Zambia for their exploitative practices, business and political intruding and utilizing untrustworthy capacity to accomplish their own benefits. The instance of Portland Cement Zambia began when the Ventriglias used their capacity to oversee the manufacturing plant in an untrustworthy way. While Dr. Rajan Mahtani made the correct stride in moving toward the Lusaka High Court, it was insufficient as political and force interfering from the Ventriglias family brought about a misled and questionable choice from the Lusaka High Court where equity Nkonde unfairly reported Ventriglias as the lone investor of the Portland Cement.

The second court to take up the case was higher Court of Appeal that gave an ethical and transparent decision wherein Dr. Rajan Mahtani was give majority shareholding and legal ownership of the factory. While the Ventriglias once again decided to disrupt the peace of Portland Cement by challenging the decision of Court of Appeal at the Supreme Court Zambia, it was met with critical failure as a bench of three Supreme Court judges effectively rejected their claim by announcing it technically invalid and without evidences. This has further established Dr. Mahtani’s ownership at the Portland Cement Zambia factory.

The Ventriglias then defended themselves by saying that the shares owned by Dr. Rajan Mahtani are not paid for.  During the event, Dr. Mahtani and his lawyers have submitted sufficient evidences that establish Dr. Rajan Mahtani as the real and legal owner of the factory.
