Astron Paper Files Contempt Plea Against Operational Creditor for Non-Payment
Astron Paper & Board Mill Limited has filed a contempt plea against an Operational Creditor for failing to deposit ₹2,00,000 as directed by the NCLT. The payment was due within two weeks of May 11, 2026. The CIRP for the company began on May 11, 2026.
The filing of a contempt plea indicates a significant legal dispute within the insolvency resolution process. While it pertains to an operational creditor's actions, it could potentially influence the progression and outcome of the CIRP.
The announcement details a legal filing related to an ongoing insolvency process. While it highlights non-compliance, it is a procedural step within the CIRP and does not directly impact the company's operational performance or future outlook in a positive or negative manner at this stage.
Astron Paper & Board Mill Limited, currently under Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process (CIRP), has filed an application with the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT), Ahmedabad Bench. The application, filed on September 10, 2026, seeks initiation of contempt proceedings against an Operational Creditor. This action is due to the Operational Creditor's non-compliance with a previous NCLT order dated May 11, 2026.
The NCLT's order had directed the Operational Creditor to deposit ₹2,00,000/- (Rupees Two Lakhs only) in advance within two weeks of receiving the order. The order was received by the Operational Creditor on May 11, 2026. Despite the clear directive, the Operational Creditor failed to make the stipulated payment, leading to the filing of this contempt application. The CIRP for Astron Paper & Board Mill Limited commenced on May 11, 2026, as per the NCLT's order.
