(2) the action of the trial court in granting a new trial is affirmed on appeal.

(b) Either party in the cause is entitled to a change of venue from the judge before whom the cause is pending, notwithstanding any changes of venue previously taken, upon filing an affidavit stating that the party cannot have a fair trial of the cause before that judge because of bias or prejudice on the part of the judge before whom the cause is pending.
