About Mohana Krishnan
Mohana Krishnan appears in 6 reported Malaysia judgments (2024–2026). These were heard before MYHC (5) and MYCOA (1).
On the court record
Mohana Krishnan is a Malaysian firm whose reported matters before the High Court (Mahkamah Tinggi) and the Court of Appeal (Mahkamah Rayuan) range widely across strata management, tort, company, banking, tax and civil procedure. In the property field it has appeared in an appeal over a management corporation's claim for unpaid maintenance charges, sinking-fund contributions and related charges, turning on the Sessions Court's interpretation of the governing strata provisions. Its tort work includes a claim for injury caused when a tree fell on a motorcyclist, engaging the statutory duty of the relevant public works department to supervise and maintain a federal road and the question on whom responsibility for a tree planted on reserve land had devolved.
The firm's corporate, banking and tax practice is varied. It has litigated a company-law challenge to the validity of financing and security agreements founded on the ultra vires doctrine and the commercial interpretation of an objects clause, and whether section 20 of the Companies Act 1965 protected historical transactions, and a banking dispute over the release and discharge of a guarantor, testing whether the disposal of shares and resignation as director extinguished the guarantor's liability and whether the bank's silence amounted to implicit approval of a release. It has also appeared in a customs and goods-and-services-tax matter concerning an exceptional input-tax claim on an enterprise resource planning system.
On the procedural side it has argued an application for leave to execute a judgment after the lapse of six years under Order 46 of the Rules of Court 2012, and the rules that govern such delayed enforcement. The reported profile is that of a general commercial-litigation practice comfortable across strata governance, negligence against public authorities, corporate capacity, banking guarantees and tax, engaged with the recurring questions of statutory interpretation, duty and liability that arise in each of these fields.
