*276Dissenting Opinion
Ryan, C. J.
While the majority opinion in this case has a seemingly sound basis in law, I cannot help but contend that in this particular class of case we have the exception that proves the rule.
It must be remembered that this is a special proceeding, and it seems to me the logical consequence of the majority opinion results in an abrogation of Supreme Court Rule 1-12B, which provides:
. . a party shall be entitled to only one change from the county and only one change from the judge.”
The result of the majority opinion is to permit an endless succession of changes of judge, since it permits such change in each and every successive petition which is filed to modify.
I would therefore hold, in this class of case only, that once one of the parties has taken a change of judge that thereafter such special judge would have jurisdiction if readily available or until he disqualified himself.
