Concurring Opinion
Emmert, J.
I concur in the result and the reasoning of the opinion by Chief Justice Draper. However, we have presented by the record a matter which should not go unnoticed. The trial court issued a restraining order without notice. Section 47-1249, Burns’ 1952 Replacement, grants no such right, but §54-435, Burns’ 1951 Replacement, §7 of Ch. 169 of the 1929 Acts, specifically prohibits the issuance of a restraining order without notice.1 This is a clear declaration of public policy in such matters by the General Assembly, and, in my opinion, the restraining order is void for want of jurisdiction. The legislature has said that the commission is entitled to its day in court, and the statute should be observed.
