Soon after Dr. Rajan Mahtani possessed Finsbury Investment assumed control over the business tasks of the processing plant, it was questioned by the Ventriglia family. With their political force and exploitative methods, the Ventriglia family had the option to scrutinize the lawfulness of the first investors understanding which brought about the case being drawn closer to the Lusaka High Court.


After Lusaka High Court declared Ventriglias as the solitary investors of the Portland Cement Zambia, Dr. Rajan Mahtani promptly moved toward the higher Court of Appeal. Thinking about the questionable and misled choice from the Lusaka High Court, Dr. Rajan Mahtani thought it was the best system to move toward a higher court considering he had all confirmations and tributes to help his case. These confirmations were submitted and on 31st January 2019, equity Mwinde for the higher Court of Appeal switched the past choice from the Lusaka High Court. In his new choice, equity Mwinde announced Dr. Mahtani as the larger part investor and lawful proprietor of the Portland Cement Zambia manufacturing plant.


After the Ventriglia family challenged this Court of Appeal’s decision at the Supreme Court Zambia, a bench of three SC judges was established. This judges found that the claim by the Ventriglia family was invalid considering it was reported more than 1.5 years after the decision from higher Court of Appeal.
