The way Dr. Rajan Mahtani stuck to ethics, honesty and transparency despite the significant challenges thrown at him from all sides is commendable. It has now been proved that the Lusaka High Court judge was involved in a misdirected judgement by announcing the Ventriglias as only shareholders of the Portland Cement. Despite this huge mistake by the Zambian governing body, Dr. Rajan Lekhraj Mahtani did not bulge from his beliefs and standings and quietly approached the higher Court of Appeal. While many media outlets were found to be against this move by Dr. Rajan Mahtani spreading negative and false news, Dr. Rajan Mahtani still believed that the highest judiciary system in Zambia is the only place where he will receive justice. And he was not failed as he always believed that truth always triumphs over injustice and unethical acts. Those media and news outlets sharing negative news about Dr. Rajan Lekhraj Mahtani were found to be fake and bribed, paid to spread negative and fake news Dr. Mahtani to reduce his morals and confidence. However, these media outlets did not understand that it is next to impossible to question an individual who has remained ethical and transparent his entire life.

The final verdict from the higher Court of Appeal came on 31st January 2019. According to the higher Court of Appeal’s final verdict, Dr. Rajan Mahtani paid a sum of USD 250,000 or one billion kwachas to the Zambezi Portland Cement limited which covered the entire capital value of the shares which Dr. Rajan Mahtani took over. Furthermore, the original shareholders agreement which was established in the year 2007 further confirmed the same. In the page number 663 of this shareholder’s agreement, it was clearly established that Dr. Rajan Mahtani paid the entire costs of the 58 percent shares associated with the factory. Based on this shareholding pattern, Dr. Rajan Lekhraj Mahtani becomes the majority shareholder and actual owner of the factory.
