Director of Public Prosecution (DPP) Noordin Haji has opposed a bid by London distiller’s director Mohans Galot to terminate his forgery case dating back to 2019.
Galot appeared before a Nairobi court on March 18, 2019, where he was charged with nine counts including making a false document.
The liquor tycoon was accused of making a false notification of change of directors of King Woollen Mills Limited, purporting it to be a genuine document from the directors.
According to reports, Galot is alleged to have served the Registrar of Companies at Sheria House, Nairobi, with the said fake notice.
This despite knowing very well the fake notice was a false document, indicating that his nephews, Pravin Galot and Rajesh Galot, were no longer directors of the firm.
He allegedly committed the offences on January 18, 2002.
The DPP now wants the magistrate’s court to dismiss the request filed by the tycoon’s two companies, King Woolen Mills and Mohan Meakin Kenya Limited, seeking to terminate the charges involving offences of forgery of documents.
The prosecutor stated that an accused person ought to face his accusers, prove his innocence or otherwise, and submit to the consequences of the law should he be found culpable.
