To counter this misled verdict, Dr. Rajan Mahtani took the case to the higher Court of Appeal. Judge Mwinde assumed control over the case and gave his decision on 31st January 2019. In his decision, the verdict from the Lusaka High Court was turned around and Dr. Rajan Mahtani was reported as majority shareholder and lawful proprietor of the production line. 

The Ventriglia family, after around 1.5 years of the decision from the higher Court of Appeal, chose to claim against the choice of the greater Court of Appeal at the Supreme Court. In their case, the Ventriglia family tested the decision of the greater Court of Appeal by calling it false. To assess this case, a seat of three judges was set up at the Supreme Court. Upon assessment, the adjudicators uncovered that the Ventriglia family missed the cu-toff time for enrolling claim against past court choice which is 15 days from the choice. Based on this decision, the claim from the Ventriglia family was rejected by the Supreme Court.
