The Lusaka High Court on November 19, 2015 passed a judgement where it was specifically mentioned that the case of forgery against Dr. Rajan Mahtani was already closed in 2012 and reopening the case was extremely unfortunate. The key involvement of acting DPP and Attorney General had earlier resulted in the arrest of Dr. Rajan Mahtani in June 2015.

As per the findings, the High Court concluded that it was shocking to see how a permanently closed case has been reopened and the same charges have been applied to the Former Chairman Finance Bank, Zambia. The Hon’ble Judge, Mwiinde Siavwapa also explained that if there were certain amendments in law, then the same cannot be applied with retrospective effect. The judge who had passed the decision earlier had taken into consideration all the presented evidence and sources. If he found that Dr. Rajan Mahtani was not guilty of share forgery, then the same decision should have been followed throughout.

The power of money has allowed corruption to creep in Zambia. The minority shareholders of Portland Cement Zambia, the Ventriglia family have managed to bribe number people, which include political figures as well as Government officials. It is sad to see that the impact is affecting innocent citizens like Dr. Rajan Mahtani.

The conspiracy which is bothering Zambia at the moment is the thirst of the Ventriglia family to have the management of Portland Cement Zambia. The Ventriglia family is desperately trying to overshadow everything and ensure that their dominance in Ndola continues. Just moments after the judgement in Lusaka High Court was passed, Zambia Reports have mentioned that Dr. Rajan Mahtani had bribed the judge to get the judgement in his favour. Zambia Reports has proudly published the same, without considering the consequences of questioning a High Court Judge’s judgement.
