If, after the lapse of twenty days from the day upon which the demand is served upon him, the commissioner shall have failed to take possession as in this article provided, the Attorney-General, or any creditor or stockholder of the bank may apply to the Superior Court in an action for injunctive relief and the appointment of a receiver or receivers in the manner provided by chapter fourteen of Title 14 of the Revised Statutes, and thereafter, so long as such action is pending in the Superior Court, the powers of the court and of any receivers appointed by it, and the rights and remedies of creditors and stockholders shall be as prescribed in chapter fourteen of Title 14 of the Revised Statutes. The court may proceed in the action in a summary manner or otherwise.
