57-8-112. Injunctions.

In such proceedings, the court or a judge or chancellor, in vacation, shall, upon presentation of a petition therefor, alleging that the nuisance complained of exists, award a temporary writ of injunction, without the execution of bond by the state, if it shall be made to appear to the satisfaction of the court, judge, or chancellor, by the averments of the petition under oath, and from the certificate of analysis, showing a violation of this chapter duly verified and attached to the petition, that the allegations of such petition are true; thereby enjoining the further continuance of such nuisance and the closing of the soft drink stand, until the further order of the court, judge or chancellor. Such court, judge or chancellor may, in its discretion, issue the injunction forthwith or upon notice. When such injunction is granted, it is binding upon the defendant or defendants throughout the county until duly modified or set aside, and any violation thereof by the defendant or defendants or upon their procurement is a contempt of court, and punished as hereinafter provided.
