Any final order made by the commissioner as provided by law may, upon appropriate petition filed by the Attorney General on behalf of the state or by any interested party at any time within 30 days from the date of said order, be reviewed by the Circuit Court of Montgomery County, Alabama, on a writ of certiorari. Upon the filing of such petition, the petitioner shall file with the register or clerk of said court a bond, with good and sufficient sureties, to be approved by the register or clerk, conditioned to pay all costs which may be assessed against the petitioner in such proceedings. The Circuit Court of Montgomery County, Alabama, or the Court of Civil Appeals of Alabama, on appeal to it, may affirm said order or modify or repeal the same, in whole or in part. From the judgment of the Circuit Court of Montgomery County, Alabama, either the state or the interested party taking the appeal may appeal directly to the Court of Civil Appeals of Alabama within 42 days from the entry of the judgment; the interested party so appealing to the Court of Civil Appeals shall give security for the costs of such appeal to be approved by the register or clerk of said court.
