The application shall be in such form and shall contain such part1culars as may be prescribed. (2) The Land Tribunal shall duly enquire into the application and pass appropriate orders thereon. Where the order allows resumption, it shall specify the extent and location of the land allowed to be resumed, the rent payable in respect of the portion, if any, that would be left after resumptiOn and such other particulars as may be prescribed and directing the landlord to make, within such time and in such manner as may be prescribed, payments to extmguish the rights of the culti- vating tenant and the intermediaries, if any, who would be affected by such resumption. · 26 (3) The Land Tribunal may, for sufficient reasons, extend the time prescnbed under sub-section(2)for making payments by the land- lord.
