The Latest Twist In Portland Cement Zambia Case Shuns Everyone
The lawmaking
bodies of any nation have the power to make or break a nation’s
political and social-economic position. Quick, transparent and
ethical regulations and law practices are necessary for swift
resolutions across courts, further strengthening the progress and
development of the nation. It is also necessary for performance
enhancement of the government and public bodies within a nation,
which are often role model as well as positive or negative
inspiration for rest of the nation. Unfortunately, majority of the
nations across the globe suffer from numerous limitations and
challenges with respect to their legal system, regulations and
effectiveness of court proceedings. The same situation is being faced
by Zambia legal system.
The case of
Portland Cement Zambia is almost a decade old. It was registered by
Dr. Rajan Lekhraj Mahtani, a noted businessman, entrepreneur,
philanthropist and social worker. Since the establishment of the
case, numerous proceedings have been conducted, trials have taken
place but without any result. The dragging of the case is nothing but
ineffective legal system of the nation. Despite having almost all
evidences, the final verdict took such a long time to get announced.
Even then there is no relief for Dr. Mahtani. The judge handling this
case announced that the case hearing was to be closed and both sides
were asked to submit their evidences and testimonials in written and
oral format. Based on evaluation of these evidences, final judgment
was to be announced.
However, the
final verdict was an unexpected one and final verdict was given
against Dr. Rajan Mahtani’s claims. Not with standing this skewed
judgement, Dr. Rajan Mahtani has now appealed to the higher court ofZambia against the judgment at the Lusaka High Court.
