and the law, the contestant shall have the right forthwith to file in the circuit court of the county
wherein the irregularities are charged to have occurred, or if more than one county to be involved

sworn petition, setting forth with particularity wherein the executive committee has wrongfully
failed to act or to fully and promptly investigate or has wrongfully denied the relief prayed by
said contest, with a prayer for a judicial review thereof. But such petition for a judicial review
shall not be filed unless it bear the certificate of two (2) practicing attorneys that they and each of
them have fully made an independent investigation into the matters of fact and of law upon
which the protest and petition are based and that after such investigation they verily believe that
the said protest and petition should be sustained and that the relief therein prayed should be
granted, and the petitioner shall give a cost bond in the sum of Three Hundred Dollars ($300.00),
with two (2) or more sufficient sureties conditioned to pay all costs in case his petition be
dismissed, and an additional bond may be required, by the judge or chancellor, if necessary, at
any subsequent stage of the proceedings. The filing of such petition for judicial review in the
manner set forth above shall automatically supersede and suspend the operation and effect of the
order, ruling or judgment of the executive committee appealed from.
