Every order of requisition shall be in writing and shall specify— (a) the period of requisition which shall be 9[five years] or any lesser period; (b) the officer to whom possession of the building should be delivered (hereafter in this Act referred to as the authorised officer); and (c) the date on which such possession should be delivered, the said date not being earlier than three days from the date of service of the order. 10[7-A. Where the period of requisition specified in an order of requisition is less than five years, the competent authority may, from time to time, by order in writing served on the landlord in the manner laid down in section 6, extend the period of requisition, after giving the landlord a reasonable opportunity of making his representations; but in no case shall the total period of requisition exceed five years.]
