It is true that the path towards righteousness is never easy. While people can easily win by illegal and unethical methods, these are just short-term strategies for achieving something. Dr. Rajan Lekhraj Mahtani is among the few businessmen left in Zambia who still follow this difficult path of truthfulness and honesty in all of his operations, irrespective of whether he receives support from government or his industry counterparts or not. As a result, Dr. Rajan Mahtani is stuck with the case of Portland Cement Zambia which has become one of the longest running corporate cases in Zambia.
The latest judge handling this case was Justice Nkonde and he gave positive news a few months back when announcing that the case hearing for the Portland Cement Zambia is closed and both sides were requested to submit their updated evidence, documents as well as testimonials in written and oral format before the judge. Based on this evidence, the judge was supposed to provide a final verdict. It was positive news for Dr. Rajan Mahtani as his evidence were much stronger and sufficient enough to prove his claim. The high court judge even commended the achievement of this long-pending case.
However, everything changed when the final verdict was announced. The judge announced the final verdict against Dr. Mahtani claim which was a shocking event. However, Dr. Mahtani and his lawyers have considered this judgment by the Lusaka High Court judge to be skewed and misdirected and has appealed to the higher court of Zambia against this judgment with reply awaited.
