It is a well-known fact the Dr. Rajan Mahtani was arrested on June 2 2015 on account of a case which was previously confirmed to be ‘permanently closed’ by the Attorney-General. However, a sickening event took place when the Ventriglia family was able to use their money power and bring back this irrelevant case back to life with the aid of some corrupt government officials.

Soon after Dr. Mahtani was released, he ensured this question was raised in front of the nation and ensure that a judicial review of this event is carried out by higher law enforcing authorities. The position whose decision to issue the arrest warrant is being challenged is the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP).

The charges which were placed on Dr. Rajan Mahtani revolved around prosecuting him under forgery for obtaining the share of the Zambezi Portland Cement Factory. For people who are already aware of the history of ZPC, they would recall that the incident is same as the one which took place in 2012 and during that phase, the Attorney-General had stated that all proceeding regarding the claim of forged signatures are ‘permanently closed’.

Legal provisions for Certiorari and Prohibition have come into this case as Dr. Rajan Mahtani looks forward to receive justice. The defamation campaign against Dr. Rajan Mahtani has been going on for a very long time. However, it is time that Dr. Rajan Mahtani has decided to send a strong signal to the conspirators that cheap tactics will no longer work for them. If the Ventriglia family thinks that they can snatch the ZPC from its legal owners, it will have to come down on an equal platform and have everything settled under the Law.
