Supreme Court Zambia Rejects Appeal From The Ventriglia Family On Court Of Appeal



The history of Portland Cement Zambia is controversial and at the same time, a painful event. The Cement manufacturing factory, over the course of a decade, have suffered significant as a result of increasing corruption and lack of legal transparency. With over thirty years of business experience, Dr. Rajan Mahtani is handily recognized as perhaps the best finance managers in Zambia. He is additionally regarded for his moral and straightforward strategic approaches and magnanimous commitments towards the improvement of Zambian culture and economy. Simultaneously, Dr. Rajan Mahtani had since quite a while ago endured because of untrustworthy and circumspect business substances just as debasement filled overall set of laws.


The main example was Lusaka High Court choice which was amazingly disputable. In spite of having all confirmations and tributes, judge Nkonde reported ruling against Dr. Rajan Mahtani and gave the Ventriglias just greater part shareholding of the industrial facility. Notwithstanding, Dr. Rajan Mahtani had the option to invert this choice by engaging the higher Court of Appeal. On 31st January 2019, judge Mwinde for the benefit of the greater Court of Appeal switched the choice from the Lusaka High Court. Dr. Rajan Mahtani was given greater part shareholding and legitimate proprietorship dependent on the accessible confirmations.

It seems like the Ventriglia family were unhappy with a transparent and ethical decision and decided to challenge it. They approached the Supreme Court and claimed that the decision from higher Court of Appeal was unethical. However, the Supreme Court Zambia evaluated their appeal and found no evidence along with non-compliance of case registration requirements. As such, the claim from the Ventriglia family was effectively rejected by Supreme Court.
