The hardships faced by Dr. Rajan Lekhraj Mahtani can only be understood by businesses who have track record of being 100 percent ethical, honest and transparent. Sadly, not many businessmen in Zambia can boast such track record. The worst part of this situation is that these individuals and businesses cannot be fully blamed for dipping their hands into unethical practices. As a nation, Zambia is suffering from one of the worst political and economic situation around. Just like other developing nations, Zambia also faces corrupt practices and government institutions are not being able to save themselves from becoming corrupt. As a result, when Dr Rajan Mahtani was denied justice even after waiting patiently for more than a decade, it was not a surprise for many. Dr. Rajan Mahtani is one of the few businessmen in Zambia who has a reputation which not many can boast. With more than three decades of business experience, Dr. Rajan Mahtani has been able to build a significant business empire despite the challenges thrown by the Zambian economy. As a result, it is no secret that Dr. Rajan Mahtani has many jealous people eying against his establishments, success and reputation.

While justice was denied at the Lusaka High Court where the case was originally established, justice was finally given at the higher Court of Appeal where Dr. Mahtani made his reappeal. Judge Mwinde, after looking into evidences and testimonials, announced that Dr. Rajan Lekhraj Mahtani is the actual owner of the factory. This verdict was confirmed with the factual evidence of transfer of one billion kwachas from Dr. Mahtani owned Finsbury Investments limited to Portland Cement factory. Similarly, another evidence which confirmed Dr. Rajan Mahtani’s legal ownership over the factory was original agreement between shareholders which was established in the year 2005. Based on this evidence, it was confirmed that Dr. Rajan Mahtani took over 58 percent shares of the Portland Cement factory when he paid the above sum to the factory.
