Any such restraining orders or injunctions shall be issued without bond. Said action shall be brought in the name of the State of Alabama upon the relation of the Attorney General and with his approval and such officer shall, upon his request, be assisted by the district attorney or deputy district attorney of the judicial circuit in which injunctive proceedings are filed.
