2. This suit has been filed by the plaintiffs who are Private Limited Companies incorporated under the Companies Act. The registered offices of both the Companies are at 63, Reservoir Road (now known as General Arunkumar Vaidya Marg), off. Film City Marg, between Goregaon (East) and Malad (East). Both the plaintiffs are doing business as road builders and contractors. The Directors of both the Companies are common. The plaintiffs had purchased a plot of land from F.E. Dinshaw Trust, a registered Public Charitable Trust, having its registered Office at 412, Churchgate Chambers, 5 Sir Vithaladas Thackersey Marg, Bombay-20. The said plot comprises of S. No. 253 (pt.)= CTS No. 692(Pt.) and S. No. 256(Pt.)= CTS No. 653 (Pt.) admeasuring about 6105 sq.mts. or thereabout. The said property was purchased for Rs. 14 lakhs in the name of the first plaintiff Company, hereinafter referred to as " the suit property". Before the plaintiffs purchased the aforesaid property, they were already in possession of the same as tenants and were paying rent to the aforesaid trust. The plaintiffs nature of business requires electric power as they require mixing of asphalting in road construction material. On the suit property they had an asphalting plant. This has now been shifted to Turbhe-Vashi, New Bombay. Since the plaintiffs were taking contracts from Municipal Corporation and other public bodies for construction of roads the mixing up of asphalt material was required to be done on a very large scale. For this purpose the plaintiffs requirement of power was about 250 KWs. in the year 1986-87. If the power load is over and above 250 KWs. then the relevant rules require for the provision of an independent Power Station. The defendants insisted that plaintiffs should make provision for such a power sub-station. The land was to be made available by the plaintiffs but on a temporary basis for the installation of a temporary sub-station where a transformer can be installed. There were some negotiations between the parties. After negotiations it was decided as follows.
