Billionaire businessman Ashok Doshi will be back in court Monday for the mention of a case where he was charged with fraud involving land ownership.
Doshi and his company Magnum Properties Limited were in 2023 charged with four counts of land fraud, forging land documents and forcefully taking over the land worth millions of shillings located at Nairobi’s Processional Way.
The charge sheet showed Doshi who is a director at Doshi Group of Companies allegedly hatched the plan to defraud the land owned by Greenview Lodge Limited in 1992 when he forged a stamp duty from the Ministry of Lands to claim ownership.
In count one, the Mombasa-based tycoon and his company jointly faced a charge of conspiracy to defraud where the prosecution alleged that they forged a government stamp duty valued at Sh1.2 million to register a land title in 1992.
The businessman faced a second count of making a document without authority where it was alleged that he made a stamp duty purporting it to be genuine and valid issued and signed by the commissioner of lands.
In count three, the businessman was charged with forgery while he also faced another charge of forcibly taking possession and retaining the land which is owned by Greenview Lodge Limited.
Doshi denied the charge and was released on Sh500,000 bail.
The businessman will return to court before Chief Magistrate Lucas Onyina for further directions in the matter.
