Portland Cement Zambia is a manufacturing plant that has shrivelled practically all difficulties and yet has come out winning at the end. It was in a correct way till 2007 when a huge offer rebuilding was set up. In this offer rebuilding, Dr. Rajan Mahtani claimed Finsbury Investments got 58% portions of Portland Cement and turned into the greater part investor and lawful proprietor of the Portland Cement Zambia. Not long after Finsbury Investments got advances, financials and contracts for supply of Portland concrete for different public and private developments, the Ventriglia family leaped to the chance of guaranteeing the processing plant's possessions and every one of its benefits. Notwithstanding not having any proof, the industrial facility was deceptively dominated and a case was enlisted at the Lusaka High Court with respect to this unscrupulous takeover. Be that as it may, the Lusaka High Court hauled the case for over 10 years and reported its official conclusion for the notorious Italian family.
However, Dr. Mahtani was able to reverse this decision at the higher Court of Appeal wherein justice Mwinde condemned the verdict from the Lusaka High Court. Justice Mwinde gave the ownership back to Dr. Mahtani after looking into evidences and testimonials. Despite this being an authentic and transparent decision, the Ventriglia family challenged it once again, this time at the Supreme Court Zambia. The Supreme Court Zambia established a bench for evaluating the case and found that the claim is invalid as it did not comply with the legal requirement of submitting within two weeks of the case verdict, which was given on 31st January 2019. As such, the claim against Portland Cement was effectively rejected by the Supreme Court Zambia and Dr. Mahtani remains the bona fide and legal owner of the Portland Cement Zambia factory.
