The rule shall be returnable within forty-eight hours, and the court shall hear the rule in summary manner and by preference, in term time or vacation, and shall decide it within twenty-four hours after submission.
B. If the court finds that the plaintiff is entitled to the relief sought, it shall enter its order requiring performance by the registrar and shall hold the registrar in contempt if he does not comply within three days after entry of the order.
