Sec. 4. (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.
