Ashish Latha Ramgobin was denied permission to appeal against the charges after being convicted in the Durban Specialized Commercial Crimes Court. It may be noted that Ashish Lata is the daughter of famous activist Ila Gandhi and the late Mewa Ram Govind. The trial against Lata Ramgobin began in 2015. National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) Brigadier Hangwani Moulodji had said that Ramgobin had provided fake invoices and documents to convince potential investors that three boxes of linen were being shipped from India.
At the time, Lata Ramgobin was granted bail of 50,000 rand. However, he was convicted in the case on Monday and sentenced to life in prison. NPA spokesperson Natasha Kara said on Monday, “Lata Ramgobin had said she was facing financial difficulties in meeting the cost of imports and paying customs duties.

He needed money to unload the goods at the port. “Lata Ramgobin then told Maharaj that she needed 6.2 million rand. The relevant documents were also shown to explain, including the procurement documents. A month later, Lata Ramgobin again sent another document to SR Maharaj, a Netcare challan, stating that the goods had been shipped but had not been paid.
