Open in Lexace · Ask the AI about this section
- Amended petition - Appeal of order.
Within four (4) days, excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays,
following the initial filing of any petition calling for the
impaneling of a grand jury, the presiding district judge shall enter
an order stating whether the face of the petition contains a
reasonably specific identification of areas to be inquired into and
sufficient general allegations to warrant a finding that such
inquiry may lead to information which, if true, would warrant a true
bill of indictment or action for removal.  An order determining such
petition to be deficient shall quash said petition, and shall set
forth clearly in writing each and every deficiency found by said
judge.  Petitioners shall have two (2) days to amend the petition to
conform to the district judge's order.  Upon the filing of said
amended petition, the district judge shall enter an order within two
(2) days stating whether the face of the amended petition contains
the requirements set forth in this section.  Any such order quashing
an amended petition shall be appealable when entered.  An order
determining such petition or amended petition to be sufficient shall
not be appealable.
