Institutional Mandate and Dispute Resolution

According to the association, the commercial friction between Saffron Magicworks Private Limited and Andolan Films Private Limited had originally been submitted to IMPPA’s internal Dispute Resolution Committee. Film trade associations across the entertainment industry routinely provide institutional mechanisms designed to resolve grievances, contractual impasses, and operational disputes between registered producers.

IMPPA highlighted that any review, direction, or determination formulated

Crucially, IMPPA highlighted that it maintains absolutely no independent commercial claim, financial stake, or vested proprietary interest in the underlying dispute dividing Saffron Magicworks and Andolan Films. The trade body reiterated that its presence in the courtroom arose merely because it was formally impleaded in the legal action brought before the High Court.

Rebuttal of Blanket Restraining Order Claims

The core of IMPPA’s clarification targeted unverified claims asserting that the judiciary had tied the association’s hands or paralyzed its administrative capabilities. Emphatically rejecting such interpretations, the trade body stated: “No blanket restraining order has been passed against IMPPA restraining the discharge of its institutional functions.” The leadership expressed serious concern that distorted summaries and selective briefings currently circulating within the film trade fraternity create an exaggerated impression of the High Court’s directives, misrepresenting both the specific scope of the decree and its real implications for the organization.

Reaffirming its operational continuity, IMPPA declared that it remains fully committed to executing its trade duties, serving member interests, and enforcing governance protocols strictly within the boundaries of applicable law, its chartered constitution, and the explicit directives of the judiciary.
