Application to the Court to compel magistrate or justice to do act

(1) Wherever a magistrate or a justice of the peace refuses to do any act relating to the duties of his office, the person requiring the act to be done may apply to the Court on motion supported by affidavit of the facts for an order calling upon the magistrate or justice, and also upon the person to be affected by the act, to show cause why the act should not be done. (2) If, after proof of due service of the order, good cause is not shown against it, the Court may make it absolute and the magistrate or justice, upon being served with the order absolute, shall obey it and do the act required, and the costs of the proceedings shall be in the discretion of the Court. (3) No action or proceeding whatever shall be commenced or prosecuted against the magistrate or justice for having obeyed the order and done the act thereby required. (4) Nothing in this section shall be construed to be in derogation of the powers conferred by section 122.
