  40. Damages in lieu of, or in addition to, injunction
  (1) The plaintiff in a suit for perpetual injunction under
  
  section 38, or mandatory injunction under section 39, may claim damages either

  it thinks fit, award such damages. 
  (2) No relief for damages shall be granted under this section
  
  unless the plaintiff has claimed such relief in his plaint:

  plaintiff to amend the plaint on such terms as may be just for including such
  
  claim.
  (3) The dismissal of a suit to prevent the breach of an
  
  obligation existing in favor of the plaintiff shall bar his right to sue for
