(a) A majority of the legal electors residing within the territory of any one (1) township included in the adoption shall have the right to file their petition with the court within sixty (60) days after the election showing cause why the township should not be included with the other townships where the adoption has been made.
(b)(1) If the petitioners and qualified electors shall show good and valid reason why the territory of the townships should not be governed by the order and shall, before the filing of the petition, give fifteen (15) days' notice, by publication, of their intention of filing and presenting the petition, and shall set forth in the notice their reasons why the township and petitioners should be exempt from the order adopting the act, then the court shall hear the petition, together with any remonstrance to it.
