§ 32-30-3-4 — Order for possession; expedited hearing; temporary restraining orders instead of order for possession

(a) If a court issues an order of possession
under section 3 of this chapter, the defendant or other person from
whom possession of the property has been taken may apply to the court
for an order shortening the time for hearing on the order to show cause.
The court may shorten the time for the hearing and direct that the
matter be heard on at least forty-eight (48) hours notice to the plaintiff.
An order of possession issued under section 3 of this chapter must
direct the sheriff or other executing officer to hold the property until
further order of the court.
(b) If a court does not issue an order of possession under section 3
of this chapter, the court may, in addition to issuing an order to show
cause, issue temporary restraining orders against the defendant as
needed to preserve the rights of the parties with respect to the property
and the status of the property. The court shall issue the temporary
restraining orders in accordance with the rules of the supreme court
governing the issuance of injunctions.
