Supreme Court - Notice and hearing - Incontestability.
The Commission is authorized in its discretion to file an application with the Supreme Court of Oklahoma for the approval of any series of bonds to be issued hereunder, and exclusive original jurisdiction is hereby conferred upon the Supreme Court to hear and determine each such application. It shall be the duty of the Court to give such applications precedence over the other business of the Court and to consider and pass upon the applications any protests which may be filed thereto as speedily as possible.
Notice of the hearing on each application shall be given by a notice published in a newspaper of general circulation in the state informing that, on a day named, the Commission will ask the Court to hear its application and approve bonds. Such notice shall inform all persons interested that they may file protest against the issuance of the bonds and be present at the hearing and contest the legality thereof. Such notice shall be published one time not less than ten
(10)days prior to the date named for the hearing, and the hearing may be adjourned from time to time in the discretion of the Court. If the Court shall be satisfied that the bonds have been properly authorized in accordance with this act and that when issued they will constitute valid obligations in accordance with their terms, the Court shall render its written opinion approving the bonds and shall fix the time within which a petition for rehearing may be filed. The decision of the Court shall be a judicial determination of the validity of the bonds and shall be conclusive as to the Commission, its officers and agents. Thereafter, the bonds so approved and the revenue pledged to their payment and the provision and agreements contained in the bond resolution for the security of such bonds shall be incontestable in any court in the State of Oklahoma.
