6.140 Application to Supreme Court for order directing selection and impaneling of grand jury. In any county, if the district judge for any reason fails or refuses to select a grand jury when required, any interested person resident of the county may apply to the Supreme Court for an order directing the selection of a grand jury. The application must be supported by affidavits setting forth the true facts as known to the applicant, and the certificate of the county clerk that a grand jury has not been selected within the time fixed or otherwise as the facts may be. The Supreme Court shall issue its order, if satisfied that a grand jury should be called, directing the county clerk to select and impanel a grand jury, according to the provisions of NRS 6.110 to 6.132, inclusive.
