The Ventriglias, on the other hand, fall on the other side. They are infamous for their unethical practices and getting away with law. When Dr. Mahtani launched the case at the Lusaka HC, the Ventriglias defended themselves by saying that Dr. Mahtani did not pay for the shares he owns at the factory. However, no evidence or documents have been submitted by their side which supports their claims. Dr. Rajan Mahtani, on the other hand, has shared numerous evidences such as signed shareholder’s agreement, financial exhibits and independent auditor’s report which clearly state that he is the sole joint venture partner of the factory and the rest are just minor shareholders.

It is time for the judge and the court to realize the impact of their delay on the factory. The judge has made a positive announcement with closure of the case hearing. Both parties have been submitting their evidences and once these are evaluated, final judgment is expected soon.
