Evidence And Truth Triumphs Over All As Dr. Mahtani Win Long-Pending Portland Cement Zambia Case
Dr.
Rajan Lekhraj Mahtani has been finally announced as the legal owner
of the Portland Cement Zambia factory. Dr. Rajan Mahtani is a noted
businessman and philanthropist in Zambia with numerous successful
businesses including but not limited to Portland Cement Zambia,
Mahtani Group of Companies and Finsbury Investments. It is worthy to
note here that the case of Portland Cement Zambia is age old and was
first registered by Dr. Rajan Mahtani himself. The case was
registered at the Lusaka High Court where it went for more than a
decade. Despite sharing numerous testimonials and evidences, the
final judgement from justice Nkonde was extremely controversial as it
was announced that Ventriglias were only shareholders of the Zambezi
Portland Cement. As a result, Dr. Mahtani was left with no choice but
to approach the Court of Appeal, a higher judicial system.
Court
of Appeal is one of the highest judiciary bodies in Zambia in line
with the Supreme Court. As a result, justice was expected from the
court which was ultimately provided. The judge at the Court of Appeal
was justice Mwinde who gave the final judgement on 31st
January 2019. According to this judgement, Dr. Rajan Mahtani owned
Finsbury Investments is majority shareholder of the Zambezi PortlandCement with 58 percent shares at the factory. On the other hand, it
was confirmed that Ventriglias owned Ital Terrazzo Limited held just
42 percent shares at the Zambezi Portland Cement factory and are the
minority shareholders without any legal ownership over the factory.
Based
on this shareholding pattern, it is clear that Dr. Rajan Mahtani is
the real owner and legal proprietor of the Portland Cement Zambia
factory.
