He first registered the case at the Lusaka High Court where it went for more than a decade.

To counter this judgement, Dr. Mahtani registered the case again at the Court of Appeal. 


The Court of Appeal announced final judgement on Portland Cement Zambia. The judgement was given by justice Mwinde. According to the final decision, Dr. Rajan Mahtani is the majority shareholder of the Zambezi Portland Cement as his company Finsbury Investments owns 58 percent shares at the factory.

Based on this shareholding pattern, Dr. Rajan Mahtani is the majority shareholder and legal owner of the factory. This decision was further supported by the original shareholders agreement which was established in the year 2007. 

The judge from the Court of Appeal also discarded all forgery related allegations by saying that the process of mechanically placing signatures for business transactions was a common practice in Zambia and critical members of Zambia family engaged in similar practice.

Supreme Court Judge Mumba Malila Gives Testimony Which Clears Dr. Mahtani’s In The 2012 Case


Once again the government, law and justice system across Zambia failed to provide proper justice for the honest and ethical individuals and entities. The nation is facing turbulent times as corruption and unethical activities begin to grow and penetrate into the highest levels of governance. As such, the hope for people who always stick to honesty and transparency are finding it difficult to manage their work. The prime example is Dr. Rajan Lekhraj Mahtani, a noted businessman and philanthropist who continuously faces controversies and conspiracies despite building successful companies, factories and engaging in philanthropic and charitable activities. These conspiracies are nothing but a way of extortion from the rich and powerful that is corrupt to the core and want others to join them.
The testimony from the Supreme Court Judge Mumba Malila is an example of how top government officials and those working at the highest level of governance are powerless and corrupt. In this testimony, Justice Mumba Malila recounted the 2012 case involving Dr. Rajan Mahtani. In this case, the Tribunal gave the judgement against Dr. Mahtani. However, the testimony highlighted the fact that the case was politically motivated and was against the interests of the public policies. It was also revealed that the case was influenced by some powerful and corrupt politicians and businessman who profited from the decision of the Tribunal. Even though appeals and requests were made to make the case null and void, no such actions were taken.
This testimony from Justice Malila clears one fact. Corruption and unethical activities are still widespread and openly practiced across Zambian nation. Unless the government wakes and takes actions against these repeated culprits, there is little hope for honest businessmen like Dr. Mahtani.

Judgement By Lusaka High Court Raises More Questions, Dr. Rajan Mahtani Takes Immediate Action


In the Portland Cement Zambia case, various ups and downs as well as turning points have been seen till now. However, none of these turning points were helpful in providing transparent and quick justice for the cement factory and the people associated with it. Even the latest final verdict announced by the judge at the Lusaka High Court raised more question than ever, forcing Dr. Rajan Mahtani to take immediate action.

The Portland Cement Zambia factory used to have surplus production under the leadership of Dr. Rajan Mahtani. The factory was also noted for its above-industry average salaries and wages, attracting workers from across the nation. During its glory days, the factory has achieved numerous achievements and awards for its profitability, working principles as well as its contributions to the society. Therefore, it is extremely difficult to see the same factory in ruins sue to an event which could have been avoided with amicable solutions. The only reason Dr. Rajan Mahtani registered the case was he did not want to sort to any unethical or illegal practice to get back his factory. However, he had to face the consequences of a challenging legal institution within the nation, dragging the case to almost 10 years without any conclusion.
Though some positive news was announced when the judge closed the case hearing and announced that final judgment will be based on evidences, it was not as expected. The final judgment was against Dr. Mahtani’s claims, shocking everyone. As such, Dr. Mahtani has now appealed to the higher court of appeal and is awaiting reply.

Dr. Mahtani Challenges The Lusaka High Court’s Decision On Portland Cement


Just a few months back, the judge overseeing the Portland Cement Zambia case announced that the case hearing is closed and the final verdict will be given based on the written and oral evidences submitted by both parties. This was extremely positive news for Dr. Mahtani and his lawyers as over the long trial of 10 years of the case, Dr. Mahtani has submitted numerous documents and evidences which are sufficient to prove his rightful ownership over the factory. Some of these documents were signed shareholder’s agreement, financial exhibits, and reports clearly indicating investment of more than USD 12 million over the factory’s development as well as audit report from an independent auditor. As per this audit report, the Portland Cement Zambia factory was established as a joint venture and Dr. Rajan Mahtani was the sole joint venture partner of the factory. It is clear from these evidences that the only reason the case stretched so far was the limitations of the government and law making bodies as well as difficult relationship between the two parties fighting for the case.
The final verdict which was announced few weeks earlier was nothing less than a shocker. As per the final verdict, the judgement was given against Dr. Mahtani’s claims. This clearly indicates that the judge did not even consider the evidences and testimonials submitted by Dr. Rajan Mahtani. It was essentially a shocker for all onlookers and experts. As of now, Dr. Mahtani has considered this judgment to be a sham and has appealed to the higher court of Zambia against this misdirected judgment made at the Lusaka High Court. Reply is awaited from the higher court of Zambia.
