About Nandakumar S. Haridas

Nandakumar S. Haridas appears as counsel of record in 4 reported Malaysia judgments (2024–2025). These were heard before MYHC (4).

On the court record

The reported matters span sale-and-purchase, specific-relief and bank-guarantee work, grounded in High Court judgments.

Nandakumar S. Haridas's reported matters, argued through Messrs Thomas Philip, are property, land and commercial disputes in the High Court. A sale-and-purchase decision concerned a development in which the car park allocated to a purchaser was located differently from what the agreement provided, raising the developer's contractual obligation to allocate the car park to its intended location and the effect of the schedules that formed an integral part of the agreement; appearing for the respondent purchaser, the matter turned on the enforceability of the developer's promise as to location.

Land and specific relief feature in a High Court suit under the Specific Relief Act 1950 concerning a lease agreement, where the pleaded issues included trespass, encroachment, a declaratory order, an injunction and vacant possession, and the relationship of lessor and lessee; appearing for a defendant, the matter engaged the equitable and possessory remedies available where the boundary and terms of occupation are in dispute, and included applications relating to cross-examination on affidavits.

Banking and security instruments complete the profile. In related originating summonses concerning demands made on bank guarantees, the disputed question was whether a call on a guarantee was unjustified or unconscionable and whether the underlying disputes should restrain payment; here he appeared for a defendant resisting the challenge to the calls. A thread across these decisions is the enforcement of contractual and property rights against a counterparty's resistance, whether the promise concerns the location of a car park, the possession of leased land, or payment under an on-demand guarantee, argued in the High Court at Kuala Lumpur and Shah Alam. A feature of the profile is that it repeatedly asks a court to hold a party to the letter of a written bargain, whether a sale-and-purchase agreement and its schedules, a lease and the possession it confers, or the terms of a guarantee, while resisting attempts to escape or expand those obligations. The reported work thus sits in the property, land and commercial-security fields, grounded in the judgments rather than any ranking.
