Sec. 7. (a) If the secretary of state refuses to file a document delivered to the secretary of state's office for filing, the domestic or foreign corporation may appeal the refusal to the circuit or superior court of the county where the corporation's principal office (or, if none in Indiana, its registered office) is or will be located not later than sixty (60) days after the receipt of the document from the secretary of state. The appeal is commenced by petitioning the court to compel filing the document and by attaching to the petition the document and the secretary of state's explanation of the refusal to file.

1. (b) The court may order the secretary of state to file the document or take other action the court considers appropriate.
2. (c) The court's final decision may be appealed as in other civil proceedings.
