§ 262-79. Change of venue.

No change of venue shall be allowed in any of the proceedings had under the provisions of this article, except where the judge of the court in which the petition has been filed shall be disqualified for any of the reasons stated in the statute of this state relating to the change of venue in civil cases. If the judge of such court is disqualified, or is charged by any person interested in the formation of said district with being disqualified for any reasons stated in the statutes, it shall be the duty of said judge to request that a judge from some other judicial circuit of this state be assigned to sit and hear the proceedings and render his decree and judgment the same as the regular judge could have done. Such judge shall retain jurisdiction in such reclamation proceedings only until the disqualification of the regular judge of the circuit court shall have been removed.
