Where the Commission shall make and issue any order, rule, or
regulation for the prevention or prohibition of any waste prohibited
by this act, or by any order, rule, or regulation of the Commission,
authorized by this act, and the same has been or is being violated
by any person, firm, trust, association or corporation, the Attorney
General of the state, or the Proration Attorney may in the name of
the state bring an action in the district court of the county
wherein the oil or gas properties have been or are being operated in
violation of such order, rule, or regulation of the Commission or
wherein any such violation of any order, rule or regulation of the
Commission has been or is being committed, for a prohibitory and/or
a mandatory injunction, enjoining and prohibiting the offender from
further violating the provisions of this act or any such order,
rule, or regulation of the Commission and/or commanding and
compelling such offender to obey such order, rule, or regulation;
and such court is hereby given jurisdiction to grant such injunction
or such other relief as may be proper in the premises, and shall
have power to grant in any such proceedings temporary restraining
orders and/or injunctions, to obtain which no bond shall be
required.  Neither a temporary nor permanent injunction granted
under the provisions of this section shall be stayed or superseded

on appeal therefrom except upon order of the Supreme Court, and then
only upon application therefor, and hearing thereon after reasonable
notice to plaintiff.  Insofar as permitted and not prohibited by
existing statutes, all suits brought under the provisions of this
section shall be given, in the hearing and trial thereof, by all
courts in which the same are brought and prosecuted, precedence over
other actions pending in said courts.
