In court filings, Doric Industries claimed that for a year to March, 2015, it would send cheques to Aksharap Real Estate Ltd to cover rent for two go-downs along Mombasa Road, but that the landlord would refuse to bank them. Doric Industries is the local firm behind the Ric shoe polish brand. When Doric Industries started operations in 2002, Aksharap Real Estate’s go-downs along Mombasa Road became its first home.
